The outcome of the inappropriate preparation of medication and inappropriate dose of vaccine administered were not applicable. Additional Information: GSK receipt date: 09-MAY-2025 Other HCP reported that there were 5 patients involved in an incident where they didn't know which of them had received only the adjuvant portion of Shingrix. Also, reporter mentioned that they were investigating this incident, but that it may be possible that they readministered the doses to the patients, leading to a potential 3rd dose administered to any of these patients, as some of them had already received the 1st dose of Shingrix. The patient received only adjuvant of Shingrix, which led to inappropriate preparation of medication and inappropriate dose of vaccine administered.; Sender's Comments: US-GSK-US2025057630:SAME REPORTER US-GSK-US2025057623:same reporter
