Refuting the claims that the administration of Albendazole could trigger some problems in the children, the DG, Health, said that the tablet is one of the safest medicines. When asked about death of one student in Udham Singh Nagar district last year allegedly after administering the tablet, Dr Rawat said that the investigation has proved that the death occurred due to some other reasons and not by Albendazole. He however, he said that as a precautionary measure, the drug would not be given to sick children. A data of such children would be made and the drug would be given to them when they become fit. The department has kept the fleet of 108 ambulances in a state of high alert to meet any exigency on the day of the de worming drive.
