A woman, whose age according to her Aadhaar card is 118 years, has received her first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine in the Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh.
She was administered the dose at an inoculation facility in the Khimlasa area near here on Saturday.
After getting the jab, Tulsabai came out of the centre with a broad smile on her face and flashing a victory sign, and said in Bundelkhendi dialect, "Hamne lagwao teeka so ache hojen. So tum bhi lagwaao so ache ho ja ho. Kuchhu dikkat nainuaan...(I took the vaccine so that I feel better. You also take it. No worries.)"
She is possibly the oldest woman in the country to get the vaccine.
According to her Aadhaar card 790309436468, Tulsabai was born on January 1, 1903, and is a resident of the Sadarpur area of Sagar, which is part of the Bundelkhand region.
