Civil surgeon Dr PK Sridhar today visited the civil hospital along with state in-charge for vaccination Dr Balwinder Singh and conducted an inquiry into the matter. Dr Sridhar said the child’s congenital heart problem was apparently unknown to her parents. “After being administered the vaccine, the child was take to her home in an auto-rickshaw. She was breast-fed on the way. We have also learned that the vehicle was overcrowded. The child might have choked while suckling,” he added. However, the exact cause of the death would be ascertained only after the receipt of the viscera report. The child’s viscera as well as the sample of the vaccine administered have been sent for tests. The Mohali drug inspector has been directed to check the batch of the vaccine given to the child. Doctors said 27 other children who were administered the vaccine from the same batch of vials were all fine. “The BCG vaccine is not known to adversely affect a child, leading to its death. The child was monitored at the hospital for half an hour after being given the injection, as per the norms. During the observation period, she was fine,” Dr Sridhar claimed. Child’s father Sukhwinder Singh had alleged that a health worker was in an inebriated state and might have given a wrong vaccine to the child. The medical examination of the worker concerned was conducted on Wednesday evening.
