Shanxi denies vaccines linked to deaths
SHANXI Province health authority has ruled out any link between 15 children who either died or fell seriously ill and the so-called "tainted" vaccines, citing the latest investigation by the province's medical experts.
But the investigators noted two of the cases in northern China might have been related to vaccination, today's Oriental Morning Post reported.
The investigation results will be reviewed by experts from the Health Ministry, the Shanxi health authority said.
According to a China Economic Times report, four children died and 76 others became seriously ill after using vaccines that could have been tainted due to poor storage in Shanxi.
Shanxi health authority soon denied the report, saying it has received only 15 cases reported to be linked to vaccines.
The latest investigation covered all the children in these cases and found only three had been vaccinated with products provided by Beijing-based Huawei Shidai Co, a company accused in the China Economic Times report of mislabeling the vaccines and failing to store them in cool conditions.
One child had not been vaccinated at all before getting sick and eight were vaccinated with products not from Huawei, investigators found.
Therefore, they concluded all the 15 cases had no relationship with the so-called tainted vaccines.
Investigators also said that the vaccines would keep at temperatures of 37 degrees Celsius for up to a week. Two sample checks of Huawei vaccines from 2007 and 2008 indicated they were safe, the report said.
