- Pharmacists in the US have discovered that vials of Pfizer’s coronavirus shot contain up to 40% more vaccine than expected
- Many vials have enough of the rare vaccine to give six or seven doses instead of the intended five
- Overcrowding is a common practice in vaccine manufacturing and is likely not a Pfizer fault
- FDA officials indicated that given the emergency, the extra doses can be used
- If all of the vials are expected to ship this week and next, there could be enough replacement vaccine for 1.96 million doses, for a total of 8.68 vaccinations by Christmas
