Madhya Pradesh man climbs tree with wife’s Aadhaar card to avoid COVID-19 vaccine

In a bizzare incident,  man climbed a tree and refused to come down until the Covid vaccination camp for the day was completed due to his fear of the vaccine. The incident occured in Patankalan village of Rajgarh district in Madhya Pradesh. The funny part was he climbed the tree with his wife's Aadhar card  to ensure neither of them were administered vaccine doses.  A team from the health department set up a vaccination camp in the village. All the villagers were called to the vaccination centre. 

Kanwarlal, a resident of the village, also arrived at the centre. But on seeing the vaccines being administered, he refused to take the jab.Due to his vaccine hesitancy, Kanwarlal climbed the tree near the vaccination centre and stayed there till the vaccination camp for the day was completed. Although his wife agreed to take the vaccine, he took her Aadhar card with him to ensure she remained unvaccinated as well. On hearing of the incident, Khujner block medical officer Dr Rajiv visited the village and counselled Kanwarlal. After counselling, the man’s fear has been wiped away. Now, the next time a vaccination camp is held in their village, Kanwarlal and his wife will get vaccinated.”It is said that Kanwarlal did not get vaccinated nor let his wife take the shot also because he was scared that vaccination leads to high fever, body ache and cold.
