A pharmacist at a government health centre was sacked and another suspended for giving anti-rabies shots instead of Covid-19 vaccine to three women in Uttar Pradesh’s Shamli district.
In an order passed by District Magistrate Jasjit Kaur on Wednesday, the community health centre’s incharge, Rambir Singh, was transferred in connection with the case.
These officials were charged with negligence on the basis of the inquiry report submitted by Sub-Dovisional Magistrate Udav Tripathi.
Last week, families of the women Saroj (70), Anarkali (72) and Satyavati (60) said the three had gone to the community health centre in Kandhla to receive the jab.
MEERUT: A probe has been ordered in the incident in which three elderly women were allegedly administered anti-rabies injections instead of the Covid vaccine at a government hospital in Shamli district. I have instituted an inquiry to find the truth in the matter. The probe will be done under an Additional CMO and a sub divisional magistrate who will take statements of the victims and also investigate what happened at the community health centre. If any discrepancy is found strict action will be taken against the culprit , said DM Shamli Jasjeet Kaur.
Notably, three women in the age group of 60 to 72 had gone for the vaccination and out of three, one woman Saroj Devi s health deteriorated by the time she reached home from CHC. She was rushed to a private practitioner who found that the certificate she carried mentioned administration of Anti-rabies injection.
