Syrian children’s deaths ‘caused by vaccine mix-up’

Medics carrying out a vaccination programme in rebel-held northern Syria accidentally administered a muscle relaxant to up to 75 children, killing 15 of them, the opposition says.

A preliminary investigation by the National Coalition found atracurium was given to the children instead of a solution used to mix measles vaccines.

The National Coalition suspected a “security breach by vandals” linked to the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
