The 45-day-old innocent child died on September 28. The family had said that the death was due to the vaccine. The post-mortem report revealed the real reason.
Naiduniya, Tendukheda. On the morning of 28th September, relatives had brought the 45-day-old innocent child to Tendukheda Community Health Centre. He said that the child had been vaccinated a day before, his health started deteriorating since night and when he did not wake up in the morning, we brought the child to Tendukheda Health Centre, where the doctors declared him dead.
The mother, grandmother and father of the deceased child were blaming the vaccine for the child’s death. He said that after vaccination, the child’s health deteriorated and he died. Tendukheda TI heard the complaint of the child’s parents and relatives and on their demand it was decided to conduct post-mortem.
Now when the PM report has come, it has become clear that the cause of death of the child was not the vaccine, but the milk given by the mother, which got stuck in the child’s lungs and he died due to lack of breathing.
These things came out in the post mortem report
The child was vaccinated on 27 September and on the morning of 28 September, the family members brought the 45-day-old child to Tendukheda Community Center in a dead state. The post mortem report revealed that the cause of death of the child was milk getting stuck in the lungs. Tendukheda CBMO Dr. RR Bagri told that the mother had fed milk to the child around 2 o’clock in the night. The child died shortly thereafter. The trachea was blocked due to milk getting stuck in his lungs. The family members thought the child had fallen asleep, but when they woke him up around 4 o’clock, he did not wake up. After that the relatives came to know that the child had died and he had said that his health had deteriorated after the vaccination.
Vaccination is not the cause of the child’s death, because the child was vaccinated in the afternoon and four other children were also vaccinated along with him. If the vaccine ever causes infection, it starts within half an hour of vaccination. – Dr. RR Bagri, Tendukheda CBMO
Take these precautions while feeding your baby
After the matter came to light, doctors appealed to the women to always feed the child with milk in their lap and keep the child’s head elevated at that time. The mother of the deceased child had breast-fed him twice the night he was vaccinated. Both times the child was fed milk while lying on the bed, which got stuck in his lungs.
CBMO has asked mothers to never make small children lie down and feed them milk. ANM always gives this information.
