Seven students from the Faculty of Agriculture at Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka have been admitted to the Belihuloya Regional Hospital after falling ill following a vaccination administered at the university's medical center today. Among the affected students, six are female and one is male.
Seven Students Hospitalized After Receiving Allegedly Expired Vaccines at Sabaragamuwa University. According to hospital sources, the students began experiencing symptoms shortly after receiving the vaccine, prompting their immediate hospitalization. Three of the students were later transferred to the Balangoda Base Hospital for further treatment.
The incident has raised concerns, with the President of the General Students' Union alleging that the vaccines administered to the students were expired by two months. Authorities have yet to confirm these claims, and investigations are ongoing to determine whether the vaccines were improperly stored or past their expiration date.
University officials have assured the public that they are looking into the matter and working closely with health authorities to resolve the situation. Students and faculty members are urged to remain cautious as further updates are awaited.
