Kanpur: In a major goof-up, an Auxiliary Nursing Midwife (ANM) was on a phone call as she administered two shots of COVID-19 vaccine to a woman at a primary health centre in the Akbarpur area of Kanpur Dehat district, officials said on Saturday.
As the news reached the woman's family members, they created an uproar at the centre and later senior officials including the district magistrate and chief medical officer were informed about the alleged negligence.
The family members told reporters that Kamlesh Kumari, a woman in her 50s, had gone to Marhauli PHC on Thursday to get her first vaccine shot where ANM Archana ended up giving her two doses.
When Kumari inquired about two injections being given to her, Archana reprimanded her instead of apologizing for the mistake, they alleged.
