Tumkur, Jan 20: A video of DHO Nagendrappa and government nursing college principal Rajani pretending to get vaccinated with the Covaxin just for a photo op has given rise to controversies.
The programme of vaccinating the corona warriors was set in motion in the district hospital in Tumkur on January 16. DHO Nagendrappa who should have encouraged the corona warriors to get vaccinated only pretended to receive the vaccination, with the needle just touching him. Government nursing college principal Rajani also posed for the camera with a health staff barely touching her with the injection.
This act by the DHO and the principal of the nursing college has drawn sharp criticism.
Meanwhile, social media users have also demanded that officials present strong evidence towards the safety of the vaccine. The netizens also maintained that photographs, videos of top officials getting vaccinated cannot be considered as proof for the efficacy of Covaxin.
People have urged senior officials to take action and suspend the DHO and the college principal for their deception.
