A source at the district medical office said that prima facie there was a lack of diligence on the part of the health centre. However, the rabies vaccine can be taken as a precaution and is safe and it will not cause any health issues,” said the source. “She was administered the Intradermal Rabies Vaccination instead of giving an injection for iron deficiency. She had taken the first dose at another hospital and went here for the second dose. However, the wrong vaccine was given. There is definitely a lack of diligence in checking what the medicine was supposed to be.
