A five-year-old child suffering from fever was mistakenly administered a dog vaccine at Shahrasthi Upazila Health Complex in Chandpur on Wednesday, April 8, 2026. The incident occurred in the emergency department when two patients arrived simultaneously—one with fever and another with a dog bite. The on-duty doctor issued separate prescriptions, but the sub-assistant community medical officer (SACMO) Abu Yusuf injected the wrong vaccine without verifying the prescription.
Following the error, a dispute arose between the patient’s guardians and hospital staff, drawing attention from local and national media. Abu Yusuf admitted the mistake, describing it as unintentional and assured that the child faced no health risk. He expressed regret for the incident.
Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer Aklima Jahan confirmed awareness of the matter, stating that although the vaccine was given by mistake, it posed no danger to the patient. She added that the responsible SACMO would be formally asked to explain his negligence. The affected family has reportedly filed a complaint with the Upazila Nirbahi Officer.
