Co-suspect product included Pre-filled Syringe injection (batch no. 3052087) for COVID-19 prophylaxis. No Medical History information was reported. On 23-Oct-2025, the patient received dose of mRNA-1283 (MNEXSPIKE PFS) (Intramuscular use) .2 milliliter. On an unknown date, the patient started Pre-filled Syringe (unknown route) at an unspecified dose. On 23-Oct-2025, the patient experienced SYRINGE ISSUE (When I was pushing the plunger, the vaccine leaked out of the joint between the needle and syringe) and EXTRA DOSE ADMINISTERED (administer another mnexspike vaccination to the patient.). On an unknown date, the patient experienced NO ADVERSE EVENT (No adverse event). At the time of the report, SYRINGE ISSUE (When I was pushing the plunger, the vaccine leaked out of the joint between the needle and syringe), EXTRA DOSE ADMINISTERED (administer another mnexspike vaccination to the patient.) and NO ADVERSE EVENT (No adverse event) outcome was unknown. For mRNA-1283 (MNEXSPIKE PFS) (Intramuscular use), the reporter did not provide any causality assessments. For Pre-filled Syringe, the reporter did not provide any causality assessments. Concomitant medication was not provided. It was reported that, during the administration of a mnexspike vaccine dose, a significant amount of the vaccine had leaked from the joint between the needle and the syringe while pushing the plunger. It was observed that the majority of the dose appeared to be lost due to this leakage. After a phone conversation with a relevant support team, the healthcare professional had proceeded to administer another mnexspike vaccine to the patient, based on the guidance received. The support team had later forwarded the email sent by the healthcare professional and had requested a credit, suggesting that the issue might have been caused by a fault in the plastic component or the pre-filled syringe.
