FIR registered against team for administering expired polio vaccine.

RAWALPINDI -- An FIR has been registered against four members of a polio team and an unnamed media person for administering an expired polio vaccine and sharing footage of the expired vaccine.

The incident has alerted parents who are now questioning polio vaccination teams on the validity of polio vaccines that are being administered to their children.

The FIR was registered on Thursday by Rawat police on the complaint of tehsil in-charge Malik Mohammad Ilyas.

The complainant said that expired polio drops were administered to children on Monday at a basic health unit (BHU) in Dhoke Budhal village on Chak Beli Khan Road, Rawalpindi.

A video of the vaccine being administered was made and shared with a mediaperson who wired it on all television channels, he claimed.
