Complaint filed as student dies after taking vaccine

The death of a BDS student after getting vaccinated has led her family to file a

complaint at the local police station in Kozhikode district. The family has alleged

that the negligence of the Pariyaram Medical College authorities led to the death of

Mitha Mohan (24), a final year BDS student.

experiencing headache and vomiting thereafter. Her test results later showed that

she was Covid positive, according to Manorama Online. She was admitted to the

isolation ward of the teaching hospital, but the hospital authorities couldn't save

her life.

with her batchmates took the first shot of Covishield, the

COVID-19 vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and

produced by pharma giant AstraZeneca. The second shot

was due in a few days for her. a Bachelor of Dental Surgery

student of Government Medical College. Kannur and her

batchmates. However, her classmates remember how Mitha

developed rashes, allergies and vomiting, following which

she was subjected to an RT PCR test and her result turned

out to be positive. Two days ago, Mitha succumbed to the

virus.

The protest which is being organised by the students' union

chairman Vlnayak Vijay has entered its third day. The

students say that they will continue the protest until the

college comes out with a statement. "The second shot of our

vaccine is due in a few days. We do not know if the vaccine

caused her death, but had the treatment been better, Mitha

would have still been alive," says Sreelakshmi. Earlier, a

health worker who received the vaccine jab had also died in

Telangana.
