Follow up - The attached report is being submitted based on information gathered through the Real-Time Immunization Monitoring System (RTIMS) project that is being conducted by a University with support of CDC. The information gathered is based upon surveys completed by recipients of influenza vaccine. Participants in this survey are given the opportunity to provide us with their contact information so that we can follow up on selected reports of illness following immunizations. Participants also have the option of requesting that they not be contacted. When a report of symptoms suggesting a possible adverse event of interest is received, our team attempts to contact the reporting individual provided permission has been granted. When individuals seek medical care, we attempt to collect information from the clinic, emergency room and/or hospital where they sought care for adverse events that warrant follow-up. If we have such information, then we are including it in the report. If the information is not available, the information is not included in the report. Bellow we are indicating whether or not permission has been granted to contact the study participant to get additional details and if we have attempt to contact them. There are some situations where they have granted us permission to contact them, but they have specifically requested that we not share the information with individuals who are not a part of this study. As per the requirements of IRB, we are honoring these requests. Permission granted yes - Contact attempts successful yes - Permission to be contacted by VAERS NO. In many situations, it is not possible to get the information about where medical care was sought and further details about the illness due to the nature of this study. Nevertheless, we are reporting to you information about potentially serious adverse events following immunization as required by law. We regret the inconvenience that this may create with regards to incomplete information, but we are unable to do anything about this. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact one of the study coordinators.

5ml syringes were used to draw up diluent for mixing the 5-11 year old Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine vial on 12/16/21.  Diluent drawn up and injected into the vaccine vial was 1.6ml rather than 1.3ml.

Vial had a bonus dose (so 11 doses total).  Patient was given a vaccine dose at 90% of the correct concentration.  Error has been reported to Pfizer.  Families are currently being contacted by letter and by phone to be alerted of the error and offered a re-dose if they would like this.  No adverse effects to patients have been reported.
