At the moment, there is still no reliable information about what exactly led to the death of a newborn in the Belopolsky District Hospital.

Recall that on February 25, after 9 hours after the introduction of the immunological bacterial vaccine BCG, the child suddenly stopped breathing and died.

BCG is a drug that is introduced in the first days after birth and must prevent a critically dangerous course of the disease with tuberculosis.

While the causes of the fatal case have not been thoroughly established, the order of the Ukrainian State Service for Medicinal Preparations, the use and sale of this vaccine, produced in Bulgaria, is temporarily prohibited on the territory of Ukraine.
