We may have a world record. A young Italian woman received six doses of the anti-Covid vaccine from Pfizer-BioNTech this Sunday by mistake and was placed under observation, but in good health, in a hospital in Tuscany (center), the AGI agency reported on Monday.

A nurse was wrong and instead of injecting a dose of the vaccine to the young 23-year-old medical intern, injected her the entire vial, the equivalent of six doses, according to the same source. According to AGI, the experimentation with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine concerning a possible overdose stopped at four doses injected at the same time, this case of six doses being therefore unknown in the medical literature.
