Despite the Central Government's order of no negligence in the vaccination drives, the employees of the health department are going to the next world and vaccinating the dead. A case of second dose of covid vaccine to the dead youth of Udaygarhi of Khair region came to the light. Earlier, a case of vaccinating a dead youth of Alinagar had come to the fore.
A 32-year-old youth named Narendra Jadaun took the Covid vaccine on May 25, 2021. Narendra Jadoun died on June 21, 2021 in a road accident. On January 16, 2022, when the message of the second dose was successfully received on the mobile of Amit, brother-in-law of the deceased Narendra Jadaun, people were surprised. Narendra Jadaun had registered for the first time from Amit's mobile number and took the first dose of Covid vaccine. Amit says that his brother-in-law has died seven months ago. How can he get vaccinated now with the second dose?
The place of vaccination is mentioned on the certificate, Community Health Center, Khair and the name of the vaccinator is mentioned as Urmila. Amit says that he also got a call from CHC. When he told that his brother-in-law had died, the phone was immediately disconnected. One such case came on 15 January 2022 in Alinagar located at Dhaurra bypass.
A message was received on the deceased's (Md. Asif, 31 years) mobile about the second dose of the vaccine. The young man got the first dose on September 17, 2021. He died of the disease in December 2021. Health workers had applied the second dose on 15 January, 2022.
CMO Dr. Neeraj Tyagi says that the matter of vaccinating the dead youth in Udayagarhi of Khair is not in cognizance. Vaccination certificate and death certificate of the deceased youth have been provided to the CMO. He said that the matter will be investigated.
Also on January 15, a case of vaccinating a dead youth resident of Alinagar came to light. CMO Dr. Neeraj Tyagi got him examined by ACMO and District Defense Officer Dr. MK Mathur. Clean chit has been given to the health workers responsible in the investigation. The CMO says that the problem arose due to the wrong input of the mobile number. He said that later a complaint was made by a person named Arun Anand that his certificate was not being uploaded. On investigation, it was found that the wrong mobile number was marked on the portal at the time of vaccination. The number registered by the deceased and that of Arun Anand were identical. The CMO says that sometimes problems arise due to high pressure on the portal.
Not only this, but there have been many negligence seen in the past in the vaccination campaign, where 27 syringes filled with vaccine were thrown in the dustbin or when the Aligarh's vaccine was administered in Noida. Despite all the central government guidelines and orders, Health workers of Aligarh are not taking the vaccination drive seriously.
