Cuban state security agents have interrogated the parents of a baby girl who died Oct. 9 after receiving a vaccine against mumps, rubella and measles known as MMR at a clinic in the Alamar neighborhood of Havana, according to reports by 14ymedio and confirmed by el Nuevo Herald.
Yaima Caballero and Osmany DomÃnguez Soler, parents of Paloma DomÃnguez Caballero, told 14ymedio that they were summoned to a Public Health Ministry facility on Oct. 16 to receive details about the death of the baby, one of five children who had severe reactions after receiving the vaccine, produced by a company in India.
But instead of meeting with doctors, they were interrogated by State Security agents who threatened them with prison unless they stopped posting their complaints on social media about the death, Caballero told el Nuevo Herald in a phone interview from Mexico, where the couple went days after the interrogation.
