The minister today reviewed the dry run of administering the vaccine at GTB hospital in Delhi today.

The Gujarat government will try to bear the cost of coronavirus vaccination "as far as possible" so that people get it free, Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel said on Saturday. The hospital opened an internal investigation, and on Monday, said it had found that a worker "inadvertently removed" the vials on Friday while reaching for other items in the refrigerator, and then failed to put them back in an "unintended human error".

Asked what will happen if complications are noticed after vaccination, Jain said emergency rooms will be set up at the centres, and those getting the vaccine dose will be kept there under observation for half an hour.

Aurora Health initially said the doses were accidentally taken out from refrigeration after a pharmacy technician discovered the vials outside the refrigerator on December 25.

Authorities in the USA state of Wisconsin have arrested a pharmacist on suspicion of intentionally spoiling about 500 doses of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine, local TV channel WBAY reported on Thursday.

Health officials said that the Covid-19 vaccination will begin in the state as soon as the central government gives the green signal and preparations for the same have been made. Grafton police announced the arrest of the pharmacist Thursday, but did know name the man or identify a motive. The hospital system has already notified the 57 individuals who received doses of the spoiled vaccine. "I would request him to give the vaccine free to poor people too in Maharashtra", Tope said.

The pharmacist is now being held at Ozaukee County Jail.

Grafton police had said the hospital system contacted them Wednesday evening about 'an employee tampering with vials of the Covid-19 vaccine'.

The spoiled vaccines would not harm any individual who received them.

In a statement released to Fox News, the hospital noted that the employee in question was no longer employed, and expressed disappointment that 500 Wisconsin residents would now be delayed in receiving their coronavirus vaccine. The FBI, Wisconsin Department of Health and local police are investigating, Bahr said.
