L.P. was a student at the district's Academy School at the time. Clinic workers gave L.P. one dose of the Pfizer vaccine after the child was mistakenly given a name tag reading the name of another student, according to the ruling. The second student had allegedly already received a vaccination earlier that day.Academy School officials eventually realized the error and called L.P.'s parents to apologize, who later removed their child from the school, according to the ruling.
