Children who were administered sanitiser instead of polio drops in Yavatmal are now stable

Yavatmal : The 12 children, aged between one and five, who were administered sanitiser instead of polio drops in Maharashtra’s Yavatmal on Monday are absolutely fine, and their health condition is stable, said Medical Superintendent of the Government Medical Hospital and College (GMHC) Surendra Bhuyar on Tuesday.
“They will probably be discharged by tomorrow morning,” he added.
Purushottam, father of one of the children said, “My wife took our child for Polio drops. After they came back, an ASHA worker and Anganwadi worker called them again for drops.” “When I asked the two said that the child was given sanitiser the first time, so they are giving them drops now,” Purushottam added.
The children were admitted to the hospital after they were administered sanitiser drops instead of polio vaccine.
The official stated that three officials including a health worker, doctor, and ASHA worker were suspended in connection with the incident today.
