Moderna vaccine contaminant in Okinawa, Japan likely from needle insertion, health minister says, after 2.6mn Covid jabs suspended
Japan’s health minister has claimed that a needle breaking off pieces of rubber on Covid vaccine vials likely caused the foreign substance found in contaminated Moderna shots, causing Tokyo to suspend 2.6 million jabs.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Norihisa Tamura offered a possible explanation for the contaminating matter found in Moderna vaccines in the prefecture of Okinawa. He said that it was most likely the result of needles being incorrectly inserted into vials, resulting in pieces of rubber entering the vaccine.
