Hundreds of vaccine suspects arrested
Print Edition
HUNDREDS of people have been arrested in connection with a vaccine scandal affecting more than 20 provincial-level regions around China, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate said yesterday.
The suspects, including doctors, clinic heads and healthy authority officials in 15 provinces, are accused of crimes such as bribe-taking, dereliction of duty and abuse of power. Thirteen are awaiting trial and two have already been convicted, said prosecutors.
The crackdown follows a discovery made by police in a raid on a warehouse in Jinan, capital of east China’s Shandong Province, in April last year. Officers found that a large quantity of improperly stored vaccines had been sold in more than 20 provincial-level regions since 2011. In an earlier statement, Hua Jingfeng, a deputy bureau chief at the Ministry of Public Security, said the vaccines, including ones for meningitis and rabies, had been sold for 310 million yuan (US$47 million).
The vaccines were licensed but were not stored properly or refrigerated during delivery, which means they could have been rendered ineffective.
