Ted Pharmacy incorrectly administered Pfizer and BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine to 112 children between Nov. 3-4. The children, aged 5-11, were given doses meant for people over 12. 

"On Nov. 5, state and federal authorities ordered the pharmacy to discontinue administering the vaccine, and Virginia Department of Health (VDH) subsequently collected all COVID-19 vaccines at the pharmacy. 

"Officials instructed the pharmacy to notify parents about next steps, including the recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding whether patients should restart the vaccine series or receive a correct second dose. VDH is also working to contact parents and ensure they understand the guidance on next steps," VDH told Fox News in a statement. 

A letter from VDH's director, David Goodfriend, published by local news Fox 23, said that the health agency was aware of the incident and shared information with Pfizer and the CDC.

"If you are the parent/guardian of a child ages 5-11 years old who received a dose of COVID-19 at Ted Pharmacy on Nov. 3 or Nov. 4, 2021, please review the following information," Goodfriend wrote in a letter to parents who had their kids accidentally vaxxed with adult strength vaccines.
