Kolkata: around 320 people – cheated by Conman Debanjan Deb to take fake shots – who have received the first dose of Covishield since Friday that they were very careful and examined all the relevant documents needed before and after vaccination.
Some even verify bottles before injected and demand ID cards from vaccinators.
In a drive organized by the State Health Department, 740 citizens who have received a fake vaccine in several camps held by Deb in Kasba, Sonarpur and City College last month received a text message asking them to go to the Bangur Hospital, a rural hospital Sonarpur or a private hospital off bypass on July 25 to get a “original” vaccine, free.
“My wife and son have received a message last Thursday from the State Health Department asking them to go to Sonarpur Hospital on Friday and take Jab.
I was skeptical and accompanied them.
I checked the list and found my name there.
Everything looks fine only but I re-check the names, the vaccinator ID and make sure the bottle is actually covishield, “said Sunil Ghosh, a businessman from Sonarpur who has received a fake vaccine at the Kasba Deb office on June 12.
Professor City College Subhadip Roy has the same obstacle when he walks to the vaccination center at the hospital at the hospital with his wife after getting a text message from the Ministry of Health on Friday.
“What happened last time still gave us shivering.
We are more vigilant this time.
But the setting was fine and we were given a vaccination certificate on the spot,” said Roy, who was inoculated with a fake vaccine on June 18.
Mimi Chakraborty’s actor and parliament, who also received fake jabs, he said was preparing him.
Take the original vaccine.
“I will immediately receive the first dose,” he told Toi.
While 109 people took a vaccine on Friday, 210 got it on Saturday.
From them, 250 was inoculated at the Sonarpur rural hospital and 69 received Jab at the Bangur Hospital.
“We maintain a separate list for these people who need to show text messages from the State Health Department and other IDs in dedicated centers,” said Somnath Mukherjee, CMOH, South Parganas.
