The outcome of the inappropriate preparation of medication and inappropriate dose of vaccine administered were not applicable. Additional Information: GSK Receipt Date: 18-JUN-2025 On 18th June 2025, an nurse called to report that they may have accidentally administered only the adjuvant portion of the Shingrix vaccine to 1 out of 7 patients, which led to Inappropriate preparation of medication and Inappropriate dose of vaccine administered. This had been the first dose of Shingrix for all seven patients. At the time, it was unclear whether any form of immunity screening or antibody titers specific to Shingrix were available. It was also uncertain whether all seven patients would need to be revaccinated due to the possible administration of the adjuvant only. This was 1 of the 7 cases, reported by the same reporter.; Sender's Comments: US-GSK-US2025076585:Same reporter/Diffrent patient US-GSK-US2025076589:Same reporter/Diffrent patient US-GSK-US2025076590:Same reporter/Diffrent patient US-GSK-US2025076593:Same reporter/Diffrent patient US-GSK-US2025076594:Same reporter/Diffrent patient US-GSK-US2025076598:Same reporter/Diffrent patient
