A vaccine administered to children in Pakistan has been blamed for the death of three girls.

The girls were believed to have died in the early hours of this morning, 13 October, after being given an anti-measles vaccination in the Rajana area of Toba Tek Singh.

Local reports claim six children vomited and showed symptoms of fever after having the injection.

Residents of the town took to the streets in protest, alleging that the vaccinations had expired.

The health centre has stopped the vaccination drive with immediate effect.
