Doon hospital medical officer dizzy after shot, doctors say he had ‘excess alcohol’

Dr KK Tamta, medical superintendent of Government Doon Medical College Hospital (GDMCH), who was administered the Covid vaccine on Saturday, was admitted in the hospital on Sunday after “feeling dizzy.” The doctors treating him claimed that he fell sick due to “electrolyte imbalance, which has been caused due to excess alcohol consumption accompanied by less solid intake.” They denied that the medical superintendent’s condition was on account of any side-effects of the vaccine. Dr Ashutosh Sayana, principal, GDMCH, said that Dr Tamta had undergone several blood tests and scans and his condition was stable.
