At least a half dozen people who had appointments for second-dose Moderna shots were mistakenly given Pfizer instead.
A small number of people scheduled Tuesday to receive a second dose of the Moderna vaccine at Mariano's in Aurora were given the Pfizer vaccine instead.
Jeff Chaney and his son were among the small group informed they got the wrong vaccine.
Chaney said he doesn’t understand how it could happen. "I gave you my card and it said right on there, you know, first dose is Moderna, so how could you, you know, go ahead and, you know, give me the Pfizer?" Chaney said.
"The Mariano’s Pharmacy located in Aurora, IL administered a small number of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines to people who had received the Moderna vaccine at their first appointment. No adverse events for the affected patients have been reported. All impacted patients have been contacted. We thank these patients for their understanding and have apologized for their inconvenience. Kroger Health has reported to both the CDC and the Illinois Department of Public Health, and our team is investigating the matter and will take steps to prevent a similar situation from recurring in the future."

Meh, if you're offering up your body for some untested chemical soup you can hardly complain to the chef about the ingredients.
I'm serious, even if they poison you, don't bother complaining.

Doesn’t seem to matter. The UK started testing to see if they could be mixed a couple of months ago.
Plus, I think most countries have screwed up by now too, mixing doses.

Are we sure it was by accident?
This is probably my favorite comment of 2021 so far. I am dumbfounded at some of the people who have gambled on these jabs.
