PEKING (dpa-AFX) – Police make a petition for suspicion of arresting 18 suspects in the scandal of poor quality vaccines in China
The Xinhua News Agency reports that & ### They are all employees of Changsheng Life Sciences, including the CEO. There is evidence that rabies vaccines have been manufactured illegally.
Already last week, Changsheng employees were arrested for questioning. Previously, the Chinese Drug Inspection had accused the company of falsifying documents relating to the manufacture and quality control of vaccines. State media also reported that Changsheng has circulated lower combined vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough injected by more than 200,000 children last year.
Drug scandals or dysfunctional foods have a strong explosive political power in China especially when children are affected. In addition, there is little trust in regulators. Chinese President Xi Jinping demanded an immediate investigation and severe punishment of those responsible after the allegations were known./jpt/DP/miss
