As per news report of BBC, the incident took place in a school in Sagar district where children were being given Covid-19 vaccines. India's health ministry mandates a "one needle, one syringe, only one time" protocol for Covid-19 vaccines. India has administered over 2.03bn Covid-19 vaccines so far. Single-use disposable syringes are widely used in India to avoid the spread of deadly diseases like HIV. However, there have been multiple incidents in the past where a single syringe has been reused in hospitals due to a shortage of equipment. Jitendra Rai, who was vaccinating the children, told the media that he was only given one syringe by the health department and he was just following orders.
