Mohali, May 6

The district administration here has ordered an inquiry into the administering of different doses of Covid vaccine to an elderly woman.

“Such negligence will not be tolerated at all,” said Deputy Commissioner Girish Dayalan as he directed Extra Assistant Commissioner (UT) Deepankar Garg to look into the matter.

Dayalan instructed the medical staff and the authorities concerned to ensure that the person receiving the first dose of the vaccine gets the second dose of the same vaccine.

He further instructed the staff to inform the person being inoculated about the vaccine.

The DC also appealed to the people that they should try to get information from the staff about which vaccine they are being administered. And when they visit the vaccination centre for the second dose, they should get the same vaccine which was given to them earlier, he said.
