JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. – Three people at JBLM were given the COVID-19 vaccine on accident.

Joint Base Lewis-McChord confirmed to KOMO News the three were in for another vaccine when the mistake happened.

“Joint Base Lewis-McChord is aware three people were inadvertently administered the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine instead of another vaccine at the Lewis Main Exchange,” COL Joey Sullinger said. “Positive corrective action has been taken at this vaccination site to prevent such errors from happening again. Army medical professionals are notifying and ensuring the health and welfare of those affected. This incident is under investigation.”
