OAKLAND, Calif. Roughly 6,300 people who received a COVID-19 vaccination at the Oakland Coliseum last week may have received slightly less than the dosage recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but are not advised to repeat the dose, the California Department of Public Health said Monday.
People who received a Pfizer vaccine dose Feb. 28 after 4:30 p.m. and March 1 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. may have received the slightly smaller doses, the CDPH said in a statement.
The CDC s recommended dose of the vaccine is 0.3 milliliters but dosages of 0.15 milliliters or more are still sufficient and would not require the recipient to repeat the dose, according to the CDPH.

State notifies 6,300 people who got vaccinated at Coliseum about less-than-recommended doses
OAKLAND, Calif. - The California Department of Health on Monday told KTVU that they are notifying about 6,300 people who got vaccinated at the Oakland Coliseum over a span of two days that they received a less-than-recommended dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
The number of people and time period is greater than KTVU originally reported last week, when two EMTs came forward regarding the underdosing.
The Health Department said that investigators found that between Feb. 28 at 4:30 p.m. and March 1 until 3 p.m., roughly 6,300 people may have received slightly less than the recommended dose.
