Broken or improperly discarded vials are considered wasted. Spoiled doses are those that had been prepped for administration but not given within the allotted timeframe, or those compromised because of freezer or refrigerator failures. Expired doses are those that had not been administered before the labeled expiration date.
The vast majority of discarded vaccines, 544, were made by Moderna. The state reported just 70 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech and 42 doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccine had been discarded.
The Oregon Health Authority did not immediately respond to a request for detailed counts by category or questions about why the Moderna figures were comparatively high.
