]STAFF WRITER 17:17 HRS IST
Malda (WB), May 14 (PTI) Two infants died and three others took ill today after being administered DPT and BCG vaccines at Gajole in Malda district.
"Three-month-old Najib Ansari and six-month-old Ruhan Reza of Sheikhpara village died after being administered vaccines for diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus and tuberculosis. They died of some other ailments they had been suffering," CMOH of Malda Dr Srikanta Roy told PTI.
The babies were administered the vaccines with 45 other children of the village yesterday and five of them fell sick which the villagers claimed was due to poor quality of vaccines.
"They did not die of poor vaccines because 45 other children who were given the same vaccines are healthy. If the vaccines were of bad quality then all children would have suffered," Dr Roy said.
The three other sick children have been admitted to Gajole Rural Hospital, he said.
