Approximately 6,300 received smaller doses of COVID-19 vaccine than recommended at Oakland Coliseum

OAKLAND, Calif. – Approximately 6,300 people who received a vaccine against COVID-19 at Oakland Coliseum last week may have received just under the dose recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but are not advised to dose, in California. The Department of Public Health said Monday.

People who received a dose of Pfizer vaccine on Feb. 28 after 4:30 p.m. and March 1 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. may have received slightly smaller doses, the CDPH in a statement.

The dose recommended by the CDC for the vaccine is 0.3 milliliters, but doses of 0.15 milliliters or more are still sufficient and would not require the recipient to repeat the dose, according to the CDPH.

Coliseum-affected vaccine recipients may have received doses of 0.22 milliliters, “which is within the range set by the CDC,” the CDPH said in a statement.

Vaccine site staff, which is operated jointly by the California Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, corrected the dose discrepancy on March 1, according to the CDPH .

People who received the first dose during the affected window on February 28 and March 1 still have to receive their second dose approximately three weeks after the administration of the first.

CDPH officials also sent a letter to those who received slightly smaller doses, informing them of the dose difference and reminding them of the vaccine dose schedule.
