‘Polio vaccine-related death’ triggers panic
Staff Reporter
Bangalore: Following the death of two infants in Tamil Nadu, who got sick after having reportedly taken polio vaccine, there was panic among parents in the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border. M.R. Mohan Raj, Project Director, Pulse Polio Programme, sent out a message of reassurance saying it was uncalled for, and that no child was confirmed sick after being administered polio drops.
B.T. Shivaram, District Health Officer (Urban), told The Hindu that there were only rumours doing the rounds and that no child had taken ill after the vaccination.
The repeated telecast of a news clip by a Kannada TV channel about the death of the infants created panic in different parts of the city.
Mysore Bureau reports:
There were similar reports in Mysore too. A large number of parents who had got their children vaccinated in the morning brought their wards to the Cheluvamba Hospital for a check-up.
