Rajasthan hospital gives COVID vaccine cocktail to patients, faces Govt wrath
Advertisement
Jaipur: A private hospital in Rajasthan has been served a notice by the State Health Department warning the facility against administering cocktail of two different Covid-19 vaccines to beneficiaries.
As per a recent media report in Times of India, the health department started an investigation against the hospital after it received a complaint in July claiming that the hospital had administered first and second dose of different vaccines making a cocktail of vaccines.
"So far, we have not received any directions from the Centre which allows mixing and matching of Covid vaccines. The existing guidelines on vaccination allows that a beneficiary should get the same jabs," a senior health department official stated
"We served a notice to the private hospital that if such carelessness continues in vaccination, we will close the vaccination centres of the hospital," stated Dr Narrottam Sharma, chief medical health officer (Jaipur-I).
