Another vaccine scandal has erupted, adding to a series of recent incidents in China involving faulty vaccines.
The latest scandal centers around the Boao-Yinfeng Healthcare International Hospital, located in southern China’s Hainan island. Operated by private firm Yinfeng Biological Group, the hospital was found to have illegally vaccinated 38 people with a “9-valent HPV” vaccine since January 2018 without obtaining a proper vaccination license, according to an April 28 report by Chinese state-run media Xinhua, citing an announcement made by the health commission of the Hainan government.
