Questions unsolved after company ordered to stop making rabies vaccine

IN A RECENT UNANNOUNCED INSPECTION, the State Drug Administration found that a pharmaceutical company based in Changchun, Northeast China's Jilin province, forged its production record for freeze-dried human rabies vaccines. Qianjiang Daily comments:

The State Drug Administration said in a statement that after receiving a tip-off, they conducted an unannounced inspection of the company's factory and detected it had forged the records for the production of its rabies vaccine, although the batch of vaccines concerned had not left the factory or entered into the market and were now under its control.

However, the administration has revoked the company's Good Manufacturing Practice certificate, and instructed it to suspend the production of the rabies vaccine, vowing zero tolerance to any illegal behavior.
