A healthy, 7-month-old baby boy died July 7, 2020, in India after receiving just one dose of the oral polio vaccine. In September 2019, a 2-month-old child died after getting the oral polio and a pentavalent vaccine containing diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type B.

Over the past few years India has reported other infant deaths after vaccines, as well. With the current one, local authorities ruled the death as accidental and then sent the body for autopsy.
