The Hindu
One got the certificate saying she was fully vaccinated even though she did not receive her second dose; another received a provisional certificate for her first dose without even getting a jab
On June 18, Mridula Mangalam, a PhD scholar in Allahabad University, received a certificate noting that she had been fully vaccinated. The final certificate of vaccination said she had been administered the second dose of Covaxin by health staff Anita at the Community Health Centre (CHC) (Soraon) in Prayagraj district. While being certified as being fully vaccinated against the coronavirus would have been a matter of joy for the 25-year-old scholar, it came as a big shock to her. Ms. Mangalam got the certificate even though she did not receive her second dose. In fact, she said, she did not even go to the CHC on the said day.
