Natwarlal Desai showing photograph of his dead father
VADOODARA: Vaccination of dead persons seems to be becoming a routine. In Dahod district, family members of an elderly man and a woman, who were no more, got messages regarding their vaccination on Sunday.
The first incident came to light when Naresh Desai, son of Natwarlal Desai received a message that his father had been vaccinated. Natwarlal Desai had passed away at an age of 93 years in 2011 when Covid-19 was unheard of. He would have been a centenarian now.
It also came to light that Natwarlal Desai’s name did not figure in the list of persons vaccinated on Monday. The message was also received at around 8.50 am on Sunday even before the vaccination began.
Family members of a man who died three years ago have received an SMS saying he has been vaccinated against Covid-19. More than 10 such cases have come to light in Gujarat.
