BHOPAL: Union health ministry has rushed

a team of vaccination experts to investigate the death of four infants

in Damoh town in north Madhya Pradesh. Twenty infants below the age of

two years were administered tetanus and anti-measles vaccine in two

anganwadi centres on Friday.

 

 

Four of these children, aged less than one year,

died after vomiting and frothing from the mouth and nose. The visiting

team from the Centre reached Damoh on Tuesday and started their inquiry.

 

 

Madhya Pradesh health minister Anup Mishra,
