Jabalpur collector tests positive 5 weeks after first vaccine dose
Jabalpur: 16.03.2021
Jabalpur collector Karamveer Sharma tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday, around five weeks after he took the first vaccine dose.
It takes a fortnight after the second dose for antibodies to develop and fend off the virus, but the collector was yet to take his second jab, say sources. Sharma announced his Covid status on social media on Monday and posted: “A small mistake despite all precautions can cause you to be Corona positive. This is my personal experience. Therefore, it is my request to follow Covid guidelines without fail.” CMHO Dr Manish Mishra told TOI that the collector has tweeted from his official handle. “As CMHO, I am not authorised to say anything. But he has got all the rights,” Dr Mishra told TOI.
A few days ago, the collector of Janjgir-Champa district in neighbouring Chhattisgarh had tested positive three days after taking his second vaccine dose. TNN
