Authorities in northern Germany appealed to thousands of people on Tuesday to get another shot of Covid-19 vaccine after a police investigation found that a Red Cross nurse may have injected them with a saline solution.
The nurse is suspected of injecting salt solution into people's arms instead of genuine doses at a vaccination centre in Friesland — a rural district near the North Sea coast — in the early spring.
While saline solution is harmless, most people who got vaccinated in Germany in March and April — when the suspected switch took place — are elderly people at high risk of catching the potentially fatal viral disease.
