On the 15th of this month, China's State Drug Administration issued a notice stating that the production process of the vaccine manufacturer Changsheng Biotechnology Company's freeze-dried human rabies vaccine had serious violations such as falsification of records.
Then, the company was exposed that nearly 500,000 diphtheria vaccines (preventing whooping cough, diphtheria, and tetanus) were found to be unqualified in October last year. Almost all of these vaccines were sold to Shandong and Anhui.
The news further aroused public indignation and panic across the country. Since the DTP vaccine is usually injected for infants and young children, many parents were worried after hearing the news, and even thought of food and drug safety issues such as the melamine incident that broke out in the dairy industry many years ago.
