Two elderly people in an aged care home in the state of Queensland have been given four times the correct dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine just days into Australia’s rollout of its CCP virus immunisation strategy.

The 88-year-old man and 94-year-old woman, both residents at the Holy Spirit Nursing Home in Brisbane, the state’s capital, are being monitored but have not shown signs of an adverse reaction at this stage.
