105-yr-old oldest woman in country to get inoculated

MOGA:A 105-year-old woman proved age is no bar when she received the Covid-19 vaccine in Moga.

Kartar Kaur, a resident of the Moga city, is the oldest woman in the country to have received the vaccination. She received the first dose of the vaccine along with her 80-year-old son and other members of the family.

Earlier, on March 10, a 103-year-old woman, J Kameshwari, received the vaccination at Apollo Hospital in Bengaluru.
Health officials said the woman cooperated well with the staff while getting vaccinated and neither she nor her family members reported any side-effects in the

30-minute post-vaccination observation.

Praising the spirit of Kartar Kaur, District Magistrate Sandeep Hans said, “I appreciate the courage shown by the woman and her family. They deserve to be praised for setting an example for other senior citizens and helping to alleviate any fear and doubt in their minds regarding vaccination.”

After getting the first dose of vaccination, the woman appealed to people to get the jab and help eradicate Covid from the country.
