Obituary – Death News : At the time of this reporting, we deeply regret to inform you about the tragic passing of a young girl in Kerala due to rabies. Rabies, a highly disturbing and fatal disease, has a 100% fatality rate. This devastating illness spreads not only through bites but also through licks if the skin is broken.
Despite receiving vaccines, which are crucial in preventing the progression of rabies, the vaccines given to the young girl did not effectively work. It is suspected that the cold chain required to maintain the vaccines’ efficacy may have been compromised or that the vaccines had expired.
The loss of this young life highlights the urgent need for proper vaccine storage and distribution protocols to prevent tragic outcomes like this. Rabies is a disease that demands our utmost attention and efforts in terms of prevention, education, and treatment.
At this time, we do not have an expanded in-depth legacy or biography of the deceased. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family and loved ones who are undoubtedly mourning the loss of this young girl. May they find strength and support during this difficult time.
