translated from Spanish: IMSS holds man’s companion responsible for receiving empty syringe

The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) held the eldest adult’s companion accountable for receiving an empty syringe by attending COVID-19 vaccination at the IPN’s Zacatenco Unit.
In a statement, the institute stated that the vaccination protocol was amended in this case that “because of the constant questions that the older adult’s companion made to the IPN volunteer and that it was video-recorded.”

Zoé Robledo, director of IMSS, said on Monday that the institute is reviewing the training received by the IPN-recruited nurse for the application of the vaccine and under what conditions the events occurred.
Although she said that you don’t have the health worker’s version yet, “What the people who were in supervision tell us is that she said she felt uncomfortable, pressured because she was being recorded, but here’s what we know. I’m going to wait for the investigation,” he said.

ImSS argued that the “incident” in the unit was an “isolated and extraordinary case that was immediately resansed,” as minutes later the man was vaccinated.
She also insisted that the patient was apologised for the mistake made by the volunteer, “who is not an IMSS worker.”
Robledo said that until now it would be a human error, “because also, after nine million vaccine applications, human errors like this can almost likely occur. The important thing is also to thoroughly investigate what happened.”
