Shamli, UP, 09 April: Three old age women who visited government hospital at Shamli, UP for Covid vaccine on Thursday were given anti-rabies injections. Today the state government has acknowledged the blunder after a probe.
Elderly women identified as, Saroj (70), Anarkali (72) and Satyawati (60) fell moderately ill after returning from a Community Health Centre in Shamli.
Jasjit kaur, District Magistrate at Shamli told in a video statement to reporters, “We have received a detailed report on this episode and we found the women did go to get their Covid vaccinations but by mistake they did not go to the first-floor vaccination centre and instead went to the OPD, where the pharmacist, who was leaving for some work, asked a private person – the pharmacist of a ‘Jan Aushadi Kendra‘ — to give them anti-rabies shots,”
“I have instructed the CMO (Chief Medical Officer) to suspend the pharmacist,” District Magistrate further said.
Anarkali, one of the elderly women, said she was sure she had been given a ‘kutte ka teeka‘ (anti-rabies vaccine for dog bites).
