A special medical team from Delhi is scheduled to arrive in Gujarat in a day or two to study the cause of death of four children after they were given oral vaccines for measles in Adipur-Kutch on Wednesday.

An official spokesman of the State government said Foods and Drugs Division officials had collected samples of the same vaccines from other major centres in the State including Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot and Bhuj and sent them to Himachal Pradesh for laboratory test.

Health Department officials from different parts of the State have also rushed to Adipur for a thorough check of the men and equipment involved in the immunisation drive.

The State government suspended the drive till further orders following the Adipur tragedy.

Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Shaktisinh Gohil blamed the State government for the tragedy claiming that the authorities had been “very negligent.”

He said that as per instructions of the Central government based on the guidelines of the World Health Organisation, every staff member involved in the immunisation drive must be specially trained in the “Adverse Effects After Immunisation (AEAI)” programme since measles vaccines particularly had the tendency to cause “Anaphylactic Shock,” which could cause death within minutes if not treated immediately.

Unfortunately, the State government made no arrangements for training the staff involved in the immunisation programme, he charged.
