By Opinion Line | China Daily | Updated: 2016-04-27 09:00

CHIEF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS should resign if there are serious violations of the vaccine regulations in their jurisdictions, according to a revised regulation approved by the State Council, China's Cabinet, ahead of the National Children's Inoculation Day on Monday. Beijing Youth Daily commented on Tuesday:

The newly revised regulation on the management of vaccines came just a month after an investigation into the vaccine scandal in East China's Shandong province, which involved about 570 million yuan ($88 million) worth of improperly stored Category 2 vaccines that were sold across the country.

It excludes private companies from the procurement of the Category 2 vaccines. In other words, both Category 1 and Category 2 vaccines will be purchased and supervised by provincial governments.
