Nashik: A few days ago, the Central Government has given permission for vaccination for children between the ages of 15 and 18. Since then the vaccination of children is going on. But a strange incident has happened in Nashik district. Here a 16-year-old boy has been given the Covidshield Vaccine by mistake.
On Thursday, officials said that a 16-year-old boy was mistakenly given the Kovidshield vaccine. On Monday, due to a misunderstanding at the local health center of Patoda village in Yola tehsil, this boy was given the Kovishield vaccine instead of the co-vaccine. The Union Health Ministry had made it clear last month that only children between the ages of 15 and 18 would be given the vaccine.
