Man claims Gondia PHC gave him 3rd dose of Covishield
Nagpur: The Gondia district health officer (DHO) initiated an inquiry after a man in his 50s complained that he had been given Covishield dose for the third time at Birsola primary health centre (PHC) on August 17.
As per the messages received on the complainant’s phone, Bhagwat Nnagfase had received his first dose on April 15 and second on July 27. According to the PHC records, Nnagfase’s second dose was given on August 17.
In a video, Nnagfase has claimed that last week he received a call from the PHC arogya sevika (health worker) asking him to get vaccinated.
In the video, he also gave the same dates of his vaccination thrice.
He claimed that the PHC health worker didn’t inform him that it was Covid vaccination nor any query was made about his vaccination status when he reported to the PHC on August 17. It was only after giving him the jab, he was informed that both Covishield doses have been completed, Nnagfase claimed.
DHO Dr Nitin Kapse said that the inquiry was completed by Thursday evening. “It was found that he got confused regarding his second dose. He wasn’t sure if he had got the second dose or not. He may have received an SMS on July 27 but we have no record showing he was jabbed that day. As per the PHC records, he was jabbed on April 15 and August 17. He confirmed to our team that he received only two doses when they went to his home on Thursday,” said Dr Kapse.

Dr Kapse added that it may have been due to a technical error Nnagfase received the SMS.
The video shot by health officials show Nnagfase a bit tense beside the officials who is prompting him to say that “he received only two doses”. In the earlier video, Nnagfase is seen quite relaxed and answering queries with a smile.
Talks of Nnagfase having a tiff with PHC staff and he that was trying to settle a score too were doing the rounds.
Local sources claimed that Nnagfase family is not educated and therefore he could point out that he had already been jabbed when the PHC staff called him. It was only after he informed a local body office bearar the matter came to light.
Officials said that his health parameters were normal.
