TEXAS – Texas firefighters admit an 8-year-old boy was recently accidentally vaccinated.
The colossal bug occurred on a COVID-19 vaccine in Grand Prairie.
Dallas County requires people to register online before receiving the vaccine – and date of birth is required on the registration form.
In a statement, a Dallas County judge wrote that human error by a third party overseeing the county’s vaccination registry was the cause of the error.
Jenkins said the department’s information technology division is working with the third-party company to ensure this does not happen again.
As of March 29, Texans 16 and older are eligible to receive the vaccine in Texas.
However, it has not yet been approved for someone younger than that age.
