Family sources said that a seven -year -old girl, who signed the rabies despite receiving vaccination after a dog bite, died in a state -run hospital on Monday.

The victim, Nia Faisal, native of Kunnikod in the neighboring Kollam district, were on the ventilator support here for a few days after conducting a positive test for rabies infection.

This is the death of a third rabies-transition-related child in the state last month, despite receiving post-rabies vaccinations after the dog dog attacks.

A 13 -year -old girl on behalf of Puld in Pathanamthitta, even after receiving the prescribed vaccine dose, kneeled in front of the infection, the sources said.

While transferring her body from the hospital, Nia’s mother said on Monday morning that no other child should face such a tragedy.

He told reporters here, “A large pile of garbage gets dumped near our house. We repeatedly asked people not to do so, but no one listened to our arguments. Stray dogs were attracted to the garbage, attracted to the garbage, put my daughter in front of me,” he asked reporters here.

Stray dogs were seen independently entering the premises of the set hospital and asked where the safety for the children coming there for treatment.

Relatives did not take the girl’s body to their home in adnings to the quarantine protocol and buried her in their original village.

SAT Hospital officials later told reporters here that vaccines could not be blamed in such cases.

SAT Hospital Superintendent S Bindhu said that the virus is likely to infect the brain before the vaccine antibody is effective, which would have happened in the case of dog bite, and it would have also happened in the case of Nia.

Another senior doctor said, “The girl suffered deep wounds, especially in places where the nerve density is high. If she faced cutting on the veins, the virus must have reached the brain before the vaccine became effective,” said another senior doctor.

Many bite and deep lesions, especially in areas such as the face, neck and hands, where the nerve density is high, explained the possibility of infection before the vaccination is effective.

Responding to a question, doctors said in a public health system, it was not right to say that vaccines are ineffective.

The vaccine is administered according to standard guidelines, and trained in the health sector to give according to them, he said.

The girl’s family and doctors at the hospital confirmed on Friday that it contracted the virus despite receiving anti -rabies vaccination doses at the correct interval.

According to Nia’s mother, the girl was bitten by a stray dog ​​on her elbow on 8 April, when she was standing near her house.

Soon after her bite, family members washed their wounds thoroughly and took it to a nearby family health center, where she was administered an anti-Rabi vaccine.

The girl was then rushed to Punalur Taluk Hospital, where she received additional medicines and vaccine doses.

However, a few days ago, the girl suddenly developed severe pain at the site of the wound and came down with fever, inspiring her parents to return to the hospital.

Health Minister Veena George recently said that vaccines are administered in Kerala state hospitals only after ensuring her quality.
