Vaccine scandal

The flu is coming, and there are many children in the hospital. Ji Milan has been busy all morning. Because Nurse Zhang, who is working with her, has taken sick leave, she has to do the work of two people today, which is super busy.

And misfortunes never come singly. Just when she was busy taking care of the children in the ward, the head nurse urgently called everyone for a meeting. Ten minutes ago, a baby suddenly died in the hospital.

A child who was transferred from the obstetrics and gynecology department was born in the morning. He was very healthy when he was born. However, after being brought to the pediatrician and injected with the hepatitis B vaccine, he suddenly appeared strange and stopped breathing a few minutes later.

The incident happened suddenly and everyone was panicked. However, no conclusion can be drawn until the cause of the accident is investigated. It may be the baby's own fault, it may be a problem with the hepatitis B vaccine, or it may be a human factor caused by improper operation by the nurse...

Various situations are possible, but no one can tell clearly what is going on.

But in any case, this matter must be taken seriously. The director has ordered the head nurse to seal all the hepatitis B vaccines currently in the hospital and reuse them carefully. Everything will be done after the results of the medical accident appraisal team are released.

Generally speaking, not all babies must be vaccinated against hepatitis B immediately after birth. It is also possible to give it later. However, for newborns whose mothers have hepatitis B disease, the vaccine antibody must be injected within 24 hours.

, and in the obstetrics and gynecology department, pregnant women are constantly giving birth, including such children, so the hospital still needs new hepatitis B vaccines.

For this reason, the hospital urgently contacted units from other provinces and urgently allocated 10,000 doses of hepatitis B vaccine to ensure that children of appropriate age were vaccinated. The existing batch of vaccines that had the accident in the hospital was sealed on the spot.

"Milan, this task is given to you. You seal up all the old vaccines and move them out of the refrigerator. The new vaccines will arrive in two hours. You are responsible for the handover. Are there any problems?"

"No!" Jimilan replied firmly. Although she was very tired, her life was at stake, and she had to persevere no matter how tired she was.

The number of nurses in the pediatric department has been insufficient these days. Those who went to the countryside for medical treatment have not returned yet. Those left behind are busy taking care of children with influenza. Xiao Zhang, who is with her, has asked for sick leave. In the morning, Nurse Tian was also busy taking care of children with influenza.

The hepatitis B vaccine issue has been temporarily suspended, so there are not many people available under the head nurse, and she is the most senior, so she was naturally entrusted with the important task.

"Okay, everyone, cheer up, don't panic, don't be chaotic, follow the organization's arrangements, and go get to work!"

"yes!"

The meeting ended, the nurses went to their places, and Jimilan immediately went to the vaccine cold room.

Although it was not freezing and snowy inside the cold storage room, the temperature was still much lower than outside. She felt cold as soon as she entered the door. However, time was tight and she did not have time to go back and change clothes. Moreover, the thought of moving around later made her wear too much clothes.

Too many are inconvenient.

So she rolled up her sleeves and started working immediately.

The hospital's daily management is still very orderly. For example, this cold room cannot be entered by ordinary people. There is a password on the door and cannot be opened by non-important people in the hospital. This is her first time coming here.

All the medicines in the cold storage room were arranged in order, so although there were many vaccines in stock, she could easily find the area where the hepatitis B vaccine was stored.

She first moved out the boxes of the batch of vaccines that had the problem. These medicines were not heavy, so it took little effort for her to handle them. The only troublesome thing was that each box of medicines had a label printed on the outer packaging.

To produce batches, she had to sort them while cleaning them.

The words were very small, so she had to read them very carefully. There were too many, and it made her eyesight after looking at them for a long time. She took out the eye drops from her white coat pocket, put two drops on them, moistened her eyes, and continued after a short rest.

live.

Each batch of vaccines is stored together, and then an "x" is affixed to it with a seal, indicating that sealing is prohibited.

It took her an hour and forty minutes to finally clear out all the inventory and make detailed records. It was divided into two batches and three dates, totaling 15,682 doses of hepatitis B vaccine.

.

What awaits them is strict inspection by the relevant health departments.

She checked the time. The new vaccine should be arriving soon. After waiting for a while, someone came and knocked on the door.

"Nurse Ji, have you cleaned up everything here? People outside are already unloading the goods and will move them in immediately. The vaccines have been transported for a long time and cannot be delayed any longer. They must be moved into the cold storage room immediately."

"Okay, I have no problem here, let's move in!" Jimilan cheered up and prepared for a new round of battle.

Soon, the new vaccine was delivered. The person in the drug management office first counted the quantity, and then it was her division of labor. She recorded each box of vaccine as she did before, and then stored it in the corresponding location.

superior.

An hour later, she was so tired that she was sweating profusely, but she was finally done.

She didn't stop and immediately reported to the head nurse and submitted the information she had recorded.

At this point, she had completely completed her mission.

Jimilan breathed a long sigh of relief. However, she never imagined that this was not the end of the mission, but the beginning of the disaster.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, news broke out again in the hospital. Another newborn had an adverse reaction after being injected with the hepatitis B vaccine and died!

"How could this happen?" After learning the news, Jimilan's first reaction was surprise.

Are there problems with the new vaccines too?

It's impossible. This is a medicine newly transferred from other provinces. It has been tested before transportation. There is absolutely no problem.

So, what went wrong?

Jimilan was puzzled, but soon someone else gave her an answer, an answer she couldn't accept.

"It has been checked. The medicine that Nurse Wang used just now was taken out directly from the refrigerator room, but the batch of vaccines she injected into the baby is still the same batch!" the head nurse announced helplessly, "Milan, how could you do this?

A low-level mistake? Didn’t you tell me before that everything has been cleaned up? How come you still mix new and old medicines together? "

"I didn't! This is impossible!" Those vaccines were sorted by her own hands, box by box, and there was absolutely no way they could go wrong!

"Milan, I also believe that you will not be so careless, but now that the evidence is conclusive, I have no choice but to suspend you first and then accept investigation."
