Baripada: In a case of utter negligence reported from Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district, a man was administered two doses of the vaccine against COVID-19 within five minutes.
According to reports, the incident took place at a temporary vaccination camp at Khuntapura village in Betnoti block.
As per reports, one Prasanna Kumar Sahu (51), who went there to take the jab on Saturday, has alleged that the nursing staff was so busy that they administered both the doses of vaccine to him within five minutes
Sahu had gone to the camp at a school to receive the first dose of Covishield after booking a slot online. After inoculation, the nurse advised Sahu to wait at the camp for 30 minutes for observation. As he kept sitting on the chair, the nurse returned within five minutes and erroneously gave him another shot of the vaccine.
When the matter came to light, the healthcare workers at the camp asked the panic-stricken recipient to undergo observation of two hours. They also reportedly advised him not to disclose the matter to anyone and visit a nearby government hospital in case of any adverse effects.
