Mayurbhanj: An elderly man in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district was administered two doses of COVID-19 vaccine within only 30 minutes, official sources said. The man identified as Prasanna Kumar Sahu of Raghupur village had visited the temporary vaccination camp at the Satyasai Government High School at Khuntapur for the first dose after booking a slot on Saturday. After taking the first dose, he was under observation for 30 minutes during which a nurse erroneously administered another dose of the vaccine to him, Sahu said.

He was asked to undergo observation for two more hours and was given an ORS drink, centre observer Rajendra Behera said, adding that the man was sitting at the vaccination place instead of going to the observation room. "It was by mistake he was administered the second dose," Behera said. Further, an official informed that there was no such adverse reaction in Sahu's body and he was stable.
