A young girl of seven from Kunnicode, Kerala, has developed rabies symptoms weeks following a dog bite, despite having been administered the anti-rabies vaccine, her family disclosed on Saturday.

As her condition rapidly deteriorated, she was transferred to the Sree Avittom Thirunal (SAT) Hospital, where she is now on ventilator support, according to hospital sources.

This distressing case arrives just days after another child, aged six, succumbed to rabies in the Malappuram district following similar circumstances.
