When he told them that he had taken a dose, the chaos won in the middle.
Then, the condition of the old woman began to deteriorate and the staff present there sent it to the nearest public health center.
The head of the ND Sharma medical officer, Jalaun, confirmed that the woman mistakenly gave two covishield doses.

Sanjeev Prabhakar said that negligence would not be tolerated and the action would be taken after identifying employees who were part of the team that manages the vaccine dose.
However, he added, “The woman’s situation is normal and there is nothing to worry about.
Double doses cannot damage people who are vaccinated because their duties only increase immune.”
