Clinical narrative: I received the Pfizer dose 1 vaccine from Dr. at clinic around 10:51AM on 04/09/2021 and was told to wait in my car, by myself, for 15 minutes after receiving the vaccine before driving home. Received email at 1:29 PM on 04/09/2021 that stated, " Hello there, We apologize for the inconvenience, but due to shortage and viability of the vaccines we would have to shutdown the clinic at the moment. We are currently in communication with the state government and will we send out an update as soon as we can. Once again, we apologize for the inconveniences this may cause. "I received an email at 10:19 PM and 10:22PM on 04/09/2021 that stated, " Hello, ?

As you know, the Department of Health and Environment paused administration of all COVID-19 vaccines at as a result of potential irregularities in vaccine storage and handling.

I called Pfizer to understand their guidance on 4/20/2021 at 1:25PM to understand their guidance and research for patient who received non-viable vaccines and they were not able to provide me with any information. I also asked if they have research for individual who are receiving recommendations to receive three vaccinations and they were not able to provide any guidance or share any research findings to answer that question either.
