✅ True. This happened in March 2021.
A spokesperson for Walgreens told Snopes that a total of 22 individuals had been affected by the mix-up, which took place on March 20, at only one Walgreens location on Fincher Street in Monroe. According to the company spokesperson, all 22 individuals have been contacted by the pharmacy to notify them, and all of them were scheduled to have received a second dose of the Pfizer vaccine over the weekend of April 17-18.
We recently learned of a limited number of patients who did not receive the vaccine at one of our Monroe, North Carolina locations and instead received an injection of saline, the diluent used to prepare Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines. In alignment with CDC recommendations, immediate corrective actions were taken. We reached out to all impacted patients and administered a COVID-19 vaccination as soon as the impacted patients were available to return to the pharmacy.
...We have safely administered millions of vaccine doses. We have taken immediate steps to review our detailed procedures with the location to prevent this from occurring again. It’s also very important to note there is no reason to believe there is harm to any of these patients. We continue to strengthen our operating procedures and are committed to this not occurring again.
