A patient in surgical ward number 07 died due to an allergic reaction caused by the ceftazidime (inj.ceftazidime) vaccine, at the Gampaha District General Hospital according to an internal source.
This antibiotic vaccine, utilized to combat bacterial infections in various body parts, led to a fatal outcome for the patient.
Hospital sources revealed that the patient tragically collapsed and passed away merely 5 minutes after receiving the vaccine yesterday (11).
Despite the ongoing implementation of specialized programs in hospitals to manage drug allergies, the patient’s life could not be saved by the efforts of the emergency treatment unit.
The patient had previously undergone ten doses of the same antibiotic vaccine without complications, but it was the eleventh dose that resulted in severe reactions.
In response to this unfortunate incident, the hospital director has taken immediate action by temporarily suspending the administration of the vaccine group to which the patient had displayed an allergic response. This precautionary measure aims to prevent further complications and protect the well-being of other patients.
