DALLAS The City of Dallas said Tuesday it has learned of 18 children who were vaccinated at the Potter s House.
The City said these individuals were under the age of 18 years, in the Dallas County registration database, and received an invitation to schedule a vaccination appointment.
The Moderna vaccine is only approved for people 18 years and over.
City officials said they have instituted a process to check each person s birthday twice before they are vaccinated, instead of the previous process, which just checked whether the person s name matched the person registered. We will be monitoring this process and make additional improvements as needed, the City said in a statement.

WATCH: Gov. Abbott criticizes White House s handling of migrant surge at the border
In the midst of a surge of migrants at the border, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott laid into President Biden over his immigration policies. Abbott spoke in Dallas, where migrant children are being housed.
The head of the Department of Homeland Security pushed back against Republican criticism of the Biden administration s border policies, refusing to say that the surge of migrant children entering the United States is a crisis.
The number of migrants attempting to cross the border is at the highest level since March 2019, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said it is on pace to hit a 20-year peak.
