84-year-old Kerala woman gets both dose of Covid vax 30-mins apart
An 84-year-old Kerala woman was administered two doses of the Covid vaccine within a gap of 30 minutes.
The incident was reported from the state-run-hospital at Aluva in Ernakulum district.
Thandamma Pappu, who was accompanied by her son for the vaccination, said: “I was given the first dose and I returned from the room and when I was outside, I told my son that I forgot my footwear. So when I returned to take my footwear, a lady official came and said to me to leave the footwear and come inside.
“She did not even care to hear what I was saying and she took me inside and asked me to sit on a chair and no sooner had I done so, another lady came and gave me the second shot,” said Pappu.
Later when she repeatedly told about receiving two doses, she was asked to sit in a room for an hour.
After the doctors found out that things are all well, she was allowed to return home.
She said after that incident, health officials called her a few times to find out how she has been, and she told them she was perfectly fine.
A few months back, a similar incident took place at Alappuzha district.
