Dozens of doctors working at King George's Medical University (KGMU) in the northern Indian city of Lucknow have tested positive for COVID-19, according to local media reports. Interestingly, most of them, including the vice-chancellor of the university, had already taken the required two doses of a coronavirus vaccine. According to the reports, the vice-chancellor, who was administered the second dose of the vaccine on March 25, has contracted the infection for the second time since August last year. Commenting on the development, an official at the university said: "During the last four days, around 40 doctors, including a medical superintendent, have tested positive for the virus." "Most of the doctors have tested positive despite taking both the doses of vaccine," he added Tests of several other faculty members are being conducted after they complained of influenza-like symptoms on Tuesday and their reports will be available later, the local media reported. — Agencies
