A large quantity of improperly stored or expired vaccines have allegedly been sold across the country since 2011. Twenty-nine pharmaceutical companies have been implicated in sales, and 16 institutions in purchases. More than 130 people have been questioned and 69 criminal cases have been filed.
A cross-departmental team will investigate the recent case of improper vaccines trading. The group, established by the State Council, will be led by Bi Jingquan, head of the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA). Senior officials from the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Supervision and the CFDA are deputy heads.
Officials from the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, Cyberspace Administration of China and the Supreme People's Procuratorate are also in the team.
