Notice Issued To Health Officer After Karnataka Minister Takes COVID-19 Vaccine At Home

Date:

Karnataka’s Haveri Health Officer Dr Rajendra Doddamani issued a notice to Taluk Health Officer ZR Makandar after a controversy erupted over state minister BC Patil being administered COVID-19 vaccine at his residence on Tuesday, ANI reported.

Minutes later Patil tweeted, “Took the #COVID19Vaccine with my wife, at my Hirekerur house from the Govt. doctors today. While ‘Made In India’ vaccines are being immensely appreciated by many countries, some vested interest groups are spreading false information about the vaccines.”

Responding to the controversy, Patil told the media that he has got vaccinated at home so that the public do not have to wait at the hospital.

“If I go to hospital to get vaccinated, the people who were already there for the vaccination jab, will have to wait. But by taking COVID-19 vaccination shot at my residence, I can attend to people as well also can get vaccinated. What is wrong in this?” asked Patil.

Earlier on Tuesday, The Union Health Ministry also issued its response on BC Patil’s actions stating that it was not allowed as per the protocol and sought a report from the state government.

Earlier, on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the Covid vaccine shot at Delhi’s AIIMS hospital, becoming the first beneficiary in the second phase of nationwide vaccination against the coronavirus.

On the second day of the second phase of covid-19 vaccination, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh took the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine at RR Hospital in the national capital on Tuesday.

Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, Union Minister Mukhtar Nakhvi and Actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) President Kamal Haasan also received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday.
