This happened to be last week.. only then I thought of writing these experiences of mine...
A lady came to our door.. she said she is a nurse and told everyone in our apartment that they are giving Swine flu vaccination as per the government rules... She told the actual vaccination cost would be Rs.850 and the government subsidised rate would be Rs.200/-
I called my friend to verify the costs... she said the rates are fine.. I asked how to believe them... She told me that to call the doctors name in the form they had given... I called the doctor but he was not responding...
The lady said that the doctor could be busy...
I trusted the lady... I called my husband as he had many times told me not to believe these people.. Again he told me not to believe.. I thought she could be true and was very much angried with my husband...
Anyway I said No to the lady as I didnt want to end up in trouble not listening to my hubby's words... Then, I checked with the Arogya Rakshane JanaSeva Samithi Trust in google... There was no much news... I started wondering, if Govt has said to this, then it should have come in local news and should be available on INTERNET...
But I came across this...
Note : In this news it was Arogya Rakshane Seva Samithi Trust
The only difference being JANA included in the name now...
Later I googled for D.H.O (District Health officer) and enquired if there is any vaccination going on for SWINE flu... He said NO... He asked me if I could register a complaint... Looks like they had already done it.. but he again needed support from local people.. :(
I said YES to him... But I couldnt do.. As I couldnt take her to the local police station!
But then... I told my friends in the same layout...
God knows whom to trust and whom not too....
