A 28-year-old woman, who is a resident of Thane, claimed that she was administered three doses of COVID-19 vaccine back-to-back on the same day.

The incident allegedly took place when the woman, along with her husband, went to the Aanand Nagar vaccination centre to get the first dose.

After vaccination, when the husband met the woman, she told him that the nurse at the centre administered the jab thrice to her within a few minutes. Meanwhile, TMC has claimed no such incident took place.

Her husband, who works as a peon with the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC), alerted the local corporator, following which the civic body provided support and monitored his wife’s health.

However, on Monday, June 28, the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) on Monday set up an inquiry committee to probe allegations that a woman was administered a vaccine dose thrice within 10 to 15 minutes at a vaccination centre in the city.

Meanwhile, the woman, who preferred to remain anonymous, said she was not interested in filing a complaint as her husband worked for the local civic body.

The woman’s husband said his spouse was not familiar with the vaccination process as she was getting a COVID-19 vaccine for the first time. She had a fever on the day she got back-to-back shots, but it subsided the next morning. She is doing fine now, the husband clarified.

There is no clarity yet if three shots were administered but there are bruises from needle injection on the woman’s arm, said Thane Mayor Naresh Mhaske, adding that strict action will be taken against those found guilty.
