Three women in Shamli’s Kandhla town walked in to get their Covid-19 shots at the community health centre on Thursday. They walked out with anti-rabies shots instead.
Saroj Devi, 70, Anarkali, 72, and Satyavati, 62, had arrived separately but grouped together at the health centre. “The first floor of the centre is where Covid-19 vaccinations were being administered. The queue on the ground floor was for anti-rabies vaccination,” Shamli chief medical officer Dr Sanjay Agarwal said. “Instead of going to the first floor, they joined the queue on the ground floor.”
It appears no questions were asked of them as they quietly, unknowingly, took the wrong vaccine and left. But before Saroj Devi could reach home, she got sick. “The pharmacist has been suspended,” Shamli DM Jasjeet Kaur said.
