Amongst all patients, one is a family member for Lin Chin-chieh, a councilor of New Taipei City.
Presenter: Ten of 25 people who were given undiluted Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines at Sanxia's En Chu Kong Hospital's Yingge District vaccination site remain hospitalized for observation. Doctors suggest patients double-check which vaccine they are getting before the medical worker administering it
Ten of 25 patients that were accidentally given undiluted BNT vaccines by Sanxia's En Chu Kong Hospital remain hospitalized and under observation. One of the 10 is a relative of New Taipei City Councilor Lin Chin-chieh. She has undergone multiple tests in the last two days but is in good spirits.
Lin Chin-chieh, New Taipei City Councilor vs Lin Chin-chieh's Sister-in-law:” I'm OK right now. My markers are a little high, so the hospital decided to order some additional tests. I'm getting an abdominal ultrasound today.”
Taipei Medical University Hospital pulmonologist Chou Pai-chien says different age groups will experience different side effects with undiluted vaccines and doctors will need to periodically check the biological markers and cardiac enzyme levels of the patients in question, along with regular electrocardiograms. Chou also says the patients should delay getting their second dose until their neutralizing antibody levels go down.
Chou Pai-chien, Chief of Pulmonary Medicine, Taipei Medical University Hospital:” (These patients should have their) biological markers and cardiac enzyme levels tested regularly, along with an EKG to see if they are at elevated risk for myocarditis from getting a quadruple vaccine. As for their second dose, it could be BNT or maybe another feasible choice.”
Starting Oct. 1, there will be four types of COVID-19 vaccines and flu vaccines being administered. Doctors say patients should double-check which vaccine they are getting with the medical worker administering their vaccine.
Zen Lin, Chair, ROC Primary Care Association:”Some vaccines need to be diluted and others don't. Some are packaged in multi-dose vials and others in single-dose vials. Medical workers need to take their jobs seriously.”
Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, which is taking over En Chu Kong Hospital's vaccinations, says it has plenty of procedural and clinical experience with vaccinations and it will follow proper pharmaceutical and medical protocol.
三峽恩主公醫院發生BNT疫苗施打疏失，造成25位民眾打到沒有經過稀釋的疫苗原液，有10人住院觀察當中，其中一人是新北市議員林金結的家人，這兩天做了心臟及腹部超音波檢查和肝功能指數，目前精神狀況不錯。
新北市議員 林金結 vs. 林金結大嫂：「目前都沒有狀況，目前都OK，我自己就是指數有偏高一點，所以醫院就是幫我再追蹤詳細一點，今天要做腹部的超音波。」
25位民眾黃卡上註明第二劑接種時間由主管機關排程，北醫胸腔內科主任周百謙指出，這次原液的施打，不同年齡層會有不同副作用，未來還是有必要定期追蹤生物標記、心臟酵素及心電圖，至於第二劑施打時機可以延後，建議等到中和抗體下降後再進行。
台北醫學大學附設醫院胸腔內科主任 周百謙：「生物標記加心臟酵素的偵測，以及心電圖的定期追蹤，或許就可以釐清除了副作用之外，是否有我們所擔心的四倍劑量的施打，所造成心肌炎的風險，至於第二劑的施打，可能還是回到BNT加BNT或許就是一個可行的選擇。」
國內從10月1號開始，會有4種新冠疫苗加上流感疫苗進行施打，如果不夠了解各種疫苗的特性，類似誤打的情況還是可能會發生，醫師建議民眾施打之前，要向護理師確認一遍疫苗內容有無正確。
中華民國基層醫療協會理事長 林應然：「每一種疫苗有些需要稀釋，有些並不需要稀釋，有些是多瓶裝的、有些是單瓶裝的，真的需要大家很謹慎去做。」
護理人員交接沒確實掀起大風波，未來該如何預防類似疏漏，接手後續接種站工作的亞東醫院醫師表示，流程從報到、問診再到施打及恢復觀察都已經累積一定經驗，會遵照藥師配發劑量再由護理師施打的程序。
