At least 11 children were taken ill and hospitalised after being administered polio drops at Waghola village in this district.

The children, aged between one to five years, were administered the oral polio dose by health workers at Phulambri tehsil of the district on Sunday.

Around 130 children were given the vaccine all through the day. Barely 24 hours after consuming it, four children started vomiting and developed fever. Parents then admitted them to the Government Medical College Hospital (GMCH) here. As the word spread, parents of a total of 66 wards, who were vaccinated, admitted them to hospital. However, only 11 children needed medical attention, according to doctors.
