Thiruvananthapuram, Sept 18

An 84-year-old woman was administered two doses of Covid vaccine within a gap of 30 minutes. The incident was reported from a state-run hospital at Aluva.

Thandamma Pappu said: “When I came out of the vaccination room after the first dose, I realised I had forgotten my footwear. I went back in to collect it. An official came there and led me for vaccination without listening to me. No sooner than I sat on the chair, a woman came and gave me the second shot.” — IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
