Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party's district president Ram Avtar Yadav said, "150 children were forcibly vaccinated in the government primary school of the district due to which their health deteriorated.

However, Dr. Avanendra Yadav, medical superintendent of CHC, said, "The children were vaccinated with TD and DPD vaccines, and it is common to notice fever in children after the DPD vaccine, which is a booster dose. They have been provided with medicines and now their health is stable. No children are in serious condition, so there is nothing to worry about."
