A few people were given the wrong second doses in Aurora. Yes it’s a small number in the great scheme of things, but if it was you or a family member that was involved I think you’d be pretty upset. If any others in your wider circle were already on the fence about covid vaccination this type of snafu (that had to be reported to CDC and IDPH) can’t but add to hesitancy. Please people, if you are getting a second shot use you card info to question and verify you are getting the correct brand.
