A senior doctor with the state-run Gandhi Medical College in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur has contracted the novel coronavirus despite taking both vaccine doses.

People close to the 48-year-old doctor said she believed not wearing a mask after getting the second dose and a general lowering of the guard may have caused Covid-19.

The doctor tested positive on 10 March, and has been advised home quarantine for 14 days.
