A massive vaccine recall has been ordered in China, underscoring the plight of Chinese who have fallen ill due to faulty vaccines.
On July 15, the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) announced that Changchun Changsheng Bio-technology, a vaccine manufacturer based in Changchun City, the capital of northeastern China’s Jilin Province, has uncovered evidence of forged data in its production of a Vero-cell rabies vaccine, according to state-run newspaper Securities Daily. The authorities did not give further details.
