2 infants die after vaccination, political controversy escalates

Former Deputy Chief Minister T.S. Singh Deo conducted an inspection of the district hospital on Sunday, where he assessed the condition of the affected children and spoke with their families.

He called for a thorough investigation and raised concerns about potential concealment by the government. It triggered the political conflict surrounding the issue.

Reports indicate that seven children were administered BCG and Pentavalent vaccines on Saturday. Following the vaccinations, two children died, and the condition of the remaining five deteriorated.

The government has since banned the use of vaccines from the implicated batch.
