BHOPAL: A teenager fled when she saw health workers at her home during the door-to-door vaccination drive. The girl —Reena Karere — was about to be vaccinated when she ran away.
Her family ran after her, but before they could catch her she had already scaled a tree.
The incident took place in Mankari village of Badamalehara tehesil of Chhatarpur district.
Health worker Mankunwer Ahirwar with a syringe in her hand tried to convince her to come down. Another health worker suggested that if Reena wants she can get vaccinated while sitting on top of the tree.
However, it was later decided that she has to come down because it was difficult to reach her arm and Reena agreed. The teen climbed down and sat beneath the tree to get her first jab. In Madhya Pradesh, 72.2% of the eligible children have been vaccinated.
