A six-month-old baby in Chile has been accidentally inoculated with the Covid-19 vaccine by China’s Sinovac, Sputnik quoted the 24 Horas broadcaster as saying on Thursday, citing local authorities.

According to the news outlet, the baby was vaccinated after being brought to a family health centre in the commune of Tirua in the Bio Bio region for age-appropriate vaccine shots.

The commune said that it had relayed information to all corresponding authorities and taken all necessary measures to observe the baby.

So far, the baby has not shown any negative reactions.
