Thane: A man was administered an anti-rabies medicine instead of COVID-19 vaccine at a medical centre in Maharashtra”s Thane district, following which a doctor and a nurse of the facility were suspended, a civic official said.
Local resident Rajkumar Yadav went to the civic-run medical centre in Kalwa area here on Monday to get a jab against the coronavirus infection.
He stood in a wrong queue and after being vaccinated, he was informed that he was administered the vaccine against rabies, a spokesperson of the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) told reporters on Tuesday.
The man panicked, but he is fine and has no complications, the official said.
