SONAMURA / AGARTALA, July 11 (TIWN): Rajdeep Ghosh, resident of East Durlabhnarayan village, Sonamura received "Successfully Vaccinated" SMS without vaccination. This has not been an isolated incident but common errors are taking place in vaccination updates in Tripura. Various peculiar and similar incidents have taken place recently whereas in another case a man received a message from a wrong vaccination centre. Even after repeated reporting of such errors, the Health Dept has failed to fix the problems. Talking to media at his home, Rajdeep Ghosh said, "I had an online registration for vaccination on July 8 and my timing was 3 pm to 6 pm. I went to Sonamura centre at 4 pm but the vaccination centre at the hospital was already closed and when I had asked them, they told me that after 4 pm, vaccination can not be given. I was further suggested by them to come tomorrow. Shockingly, on July 10th morning at 6.43 am, I received a message in my mobile saying, my vaccination is completed. But, I took no vaccine at all".

Reportedly, on 9th July Rajdeep Ghosh, a resident of East Durlabhnarayan village under Sonamura subdivision booked his slot for first dose of vaccine at Government's Cowin portal. But after reaching the vaccination centre he was told that he was late and the vaccination centre was closed 25 minutes ago. Thus he returned home without getting the vaccine.

But on Saturday morning, the day after the incident the youth received an SMS from the Government stating he has successfully been vaccinated. This incident left him in shock. Even in the portal they have issued a certificate stating that he has been vaccinated with the first dose of Covidsheild on 10th of July.

 
"This is nothing but creating trouble for common people like us. Such incidents are occurring repeatedly. Yet the Health department is not taking any effective steps. I request the government and health department to take such matters seriously." Said the Youth.
 
While CM Biplab Deb claims Tripura being the topper in Covid-19 vaccine table, such incidents raise questions on the authenticity of his statement.
