A clinic in Kyrgyzstan had to throw out nearly a thousand doses of the Sputnik V vaccine against COVID-19, after a person unplugged the fridge where they were stored to charge his phone, authorities reported.
Vaccines, now useless, were part of a batch of 20,000 doses that Russia delivered as humanitarian aid to this poor country in Central Asia.
The incident took place in April at a public clinic in Bishkek, but it has not been made public until this week, which sparked criticism against the authorities.
According to Health Minister Alimkadyr Beyshenaliyev, a maintenance worker could have been responsible for the error when he was looking for a plug to charge his cell phone.
“If the fault is on one of the employees, the cleaning lady or someone else, the clinic will have to respond financially,” he told reporters.
Recently, according to the US media outlet The New York Times, a similar case occurred at a Johnson & Johnson vaccine production plant in Baltimore, United States..
According to the aforementioned medium, in this case, the human error was that factory operators accidentally mixed ingredients from another vaccine with those from Johnson & Johnson's injection. This resulted in the wasted of 15 million doses.
