Kin gets message of full vaccination
On January 19, Pravin Singh, a freelance journalist in eastern Uttar Pradesh’s Mau district, was baffled after he received a text message from the Health Department saying that his father Kailash Nath Singh had received his second dose of Covishield vaccine.
Mr. Singh’s father died nine months ago from heart disease, on April 29, 2021. He had received only one dose of the vaccine, on March 15, 2021. “Fully vaccinated,” read the vaccination certificate Mr. Singh downloaded for his father.
The vaccination certificate further says he was vaccinated by staff member Meera Devi at the New Primary Health Centre in Madhuban. The SMS received by Mr. Singh said his father had been vaccinated with the second dose at 5:39 p.m. on January 19. Mr. Singh suspects foul play blaming overzealous government officials out to complete vaccination goals.
