It’s something the CDC on their website explicitly says not to do.

The vaccine, administered at a Mankato Hy-Vee, was mixed with sterile water rather than the saline provided by Pfizer.


 More than five dozen people were injected with improperly mixed COVID vaccines at a Mankato Hy-Vee.  It happened when pharmacy staff incorrectly used Pfizer vaccine mixed with sterile water rather than the special saline solution provided by the drug maker.

Among the 62 patients injected was Greg Brown of Champlin. His son had gotten him the appointment,  he drove the hour and a half on Tuesday, eager to get his shot.That sense of relief was shattered later that night when he received a call from Hy-Vee.

“At 7:45 a representative from Hy-Vee called me and said we had a mix-up,” he said.

A Hy-Vee spokesperson confirms to KARE 11 that two pharmacy staff members used vaccine that had been mixed with sterile water.
