नर्स ने इंजेक्शन में दवाई कब भरी अगर किसी अंधभक्त को दिखे तो जरूर बताएं इसी तरह यूपी में टीकाकरण हो रहा है।@yadavakhilesh @ARajesh_SP @myogiadityanath @PMOIndia @brajeshlive pic.twitter.com/oQIAnLkvJA

नर्स ने इंजेक्शन में दवाई कब भरी अगर किसी को दिखे तो जरूर बताएं। इसी तरह यूपी में टीकाकरण हो रहा है।

Alt News received numerous requests to fact-check the video on our mobile application.
We performed a keyword search that led us to a Jansatta story dated June 25, 2021 and titled, “Bihar: Nurse administers empty syringe instead of COVID-19 vaccine.” The incident is from Bihar’s Chapra area, where a nurse inoculated a young man who had come to receive the COVID-19 vaccine with an empty syringe.
According to Jansatta, the young man’s friend managed to capture the incident on his phone and posted the video to social media platforms. He apparently had filmed the whole thing by accident.
ABP News also posted the video reporting that the incident occurred in Chapra, Bihar.

बिहार के छपरा का एक वीडियो सामने आया है जिसमें एक नर्स कोरोना टीकाकरण के दौरान वैक्सीन भरे बिना एक युवक को खाली सिरिंज लगाती दिख रही है. वीडियो वायरल होने के बाद एक अधिकारी ने गुरुवार को बताया कि संबंधित नर्स को तुरंत टीकाकरण कार्य से हटा दिया गया है और 48 घंटों के भीतर संतोषजनक जवाब नहीं मिलने पर कार्रवाई की जाएगी.

News18 Hindi said that the Health Department terminated Chanda Devi, the nurse who administered the empty injection. Devi explained that she had made the error due to the number of people gathered there. The report states, “After the matter came to light, District Immunization Officer Ajay Kumar Sharma declared that the young man who did not get the vaccine would be administered the first dose once again.”
Therefore, the video is from Bihar’s Chapra, not Uttar Pradesh.
