91-Year-Old Man Nearly Dies After 2 Doses Of COVID Vaccine In 4 Hours Send Body Into Shock

A 91-year-old Ohio man is recovering after he was accidentally given his second round of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine twice within four hours.

In a statement to WKRC TV 12, the City of Hamilton and Jamestowne Rehabilitation owner Community First Solutions said, “An incident occurred where a City of Hamilton resident inadvertently received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine on the same day.”

“Jamestowne staff recognized the patient’s signs of distress and responded immediately,” the press release continued. “The patient was transported to the hospital and the family was promptly contacted. Both Jamestowne and the City of Hamilton Fire Department have begun investigations into the incident. Our thoughts are with the patient and his family as he continues his recovery.”

The senior, Victor Smith’s daughter Dawn said soon after being given the second shot within four hours, her father was in respiratory distress and on the way to Fort Hamilton Hospital.

“Yesterday when I talked to my dad and he could mutter two words — it was heartbreaking to me because I haven’t had my vaccine, so I can’t come to see him. So, I haven’t seen my dad in a year,” said Dawn.
