Although Pushpalatha shared the news with her friends, she was not aware of the gravity until the JPHN union said it is a state record.
She is a performing artist who passed Ganabhooshanam (diploma) from the Swathi Thirunal Music College. She studied nursing after marriage and joined the government service at 40. She will complete her two-year probation in November.
The vaccine is given using auto-disable syringe. It helps to get the 5 ml dose from the vial. It takes 2-30 seconds to administer it to one person.

Pushpalatha is a Thripunithura native. Husband Gilbert is an employee of a private company.
