“Our preliminary findings were that the vaccine was erroneously administered due to possible irregularities in vaccination procedures and poor communication between the nursing home and the medical service provider handling the vaccination,” it said.
“This is the first case of mistaken identity leading to erroneous vaccination by a mobile vaccination team in over 152,000 vaccinations to date.”
In a statement, ECON Healthcare Group said the error was discovered about five minutes after the vaccine was administered.
"The teams from ECON and PanCare attended to the resident, and extended the observation time. The resident had no adverse reaction during that time," it said.
"ECON and PanCare take a serious view of the incident, and have reviewed our processes to prevent any further recurrence."
It also said that it has been rendering support to the resident's family and "will continue to do so".
MOH added that it planned to announce the incident in December. “However, the family of the resident had requested to withhold details which could have led to the identification of the resident,” it said.
“We have since consulted the family further and are releasing the information to provide clarity on the incident.
“We understand that ECON Healthcare Group and PanCare Medical Clinic have co-funded the resident’s hospital bill as a goodwill gesture. ECON Healthcare has also been in contact with the resident’s family to render support to them."
MOH added: “Both ECON Healthcare and PanCare Medical Clinic have reviewed their processes to prevent a recurrence. The Agency for Integrated Care, whose role is to facilitate vaccinations in nursing homes, has reminded all nursing homes to ensure proper communications with the mobile vaccination teams when vaccination takes place.
“MOH has also reminded all mobile vaccination teams to perform independent identity verification and authentication before administering any vaccination.”
