The ministry of health says the batch of measles vaccine that was administered to the two children who died in Kotut in Elgeyo Marakwet is the same that was distributed to all other regional depots and has been used since then. In a statement, the ministry says that prior to the adverse effects reported in Elgeyo Marakwet County, there had not been any other. The two children aged 9 months are said to have developed complications that led to their death after receiving the measles vaccine.
