MANGALURU: Chaos prevailed outside the public health centre (PHC) at Vamanjoor in the outskirts of Mangaluru city on Friday, after people gathered in large numbers to get vaccinated against Covid-19.
Many of those gathered took the health staff to task, when they were not given tokens for vaccination. Some of them alleged that tokens for vaccination were sold in the black market. Health staff at the PHC were forced to inform the police, when an angry mob started hurling abuses. Officials said that due to misinformation, a large number of people arrived at the PHC, and this led to confusion.
