Haryana health and home minister Anil Vij admitted to AIIMS after post-Covid complications

NEW DELHI: Haryana health and home minister Anil Vij was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi late Monday evening following post-Covid complications.

Vij was rushed to the AIIMS after he complained of uneasiness in breathing.

He has been kept under AIIMS director Randeep Guleria's observation.

He is on oxygen support. His oxygen level dropped on Sunday after that doctors advised him to take a rest.

Earlier also the Haryana health minister was admitted to the PGI Chandigarh in August when his oxygen level dropped. Because of his worsening health condition, Vij didn't attend the monsoon session of the Haryana assembly.

The senior BJP leader had contracted Covid-19 in December last year, shortly after taking a dose of Bharat Biotech's Covaxin during its trial run.

He was admitted to a private hospital in Gurugram and was discharged after three weeks.

He had offered to be the first volunteer in the phase three trials for Covaxin, developed by Bharat Biotech. He has been administered both doses of vaccines.

However, he has complained of post-Covid complications many times because of dropping oxygen levels and has been admitted to the hospitals.
