The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Aligarh district, Dr Neeraj Tyagi, told media persons, "We have taken this matter very seriously, and a drive is being launched for all preventive steps like administration of anti-rabies vaccines and Immunoglobulin.
"Firstly, the errant dog was killed after the incident, so we could not conduct tests on the canine. Similarly, we could not examine the deceased child before he died and confirm any diagnosis," he explained.
He further assured the public that government hospitals have an "adequate stock of anti-rabies vaccines along with immunoglobulin to handle the menace."
