HEALTH AWARENESS WELFARE (HAW):
// KOLKATA: Almost 60 children were taken to hospital in eastern India after they
were mistakenly instructed to swallow a hepatitis B vaccine instead of
polio drops, officials said Monday.
The children started vomiting and sweating after they were orally given hepatitis B vaccine, which is normally injected, at clinics in a village in West Bengal state
on Sunday, the health officials said.
Some 120 children in total swallowed the medication at the clinics, set up to administer polio vaccine drops as part of a campaign to eradicate the disease, before
health workers discovered the mistake, said Biswaranjan Sathpaty,
director of West Bengal Health Services.............//
