Siddharthnagar (UP): A group of villagers was given mixed doses of vaccines at a Government Hospital in Uttar Pradesh in an incident that an officer blames on “oversight.” Around 20 villagers in Siddharthnagar district near the border with Nepal were given both Covaxin and Covishield. Officials claim no one has faced any adverse health effects and those responsible will be punished.
The shocker took place at a Primary Health Centre (PHC) in the largely rural district around 270 km from State capital Lucknow. The villagers were injected with Covishield in the first week of April and then given Covaxin as their second dose on May 14.
