Results of defective DPT vaccine probe publicized

Authorities on Friday released the findings of a probe into a previous investigation of substandard DPT vaccines produced by Wuhan Institute of Biological Products Co.

The inspection team, formed by members of departments including the State Drug Administration and National Health Commission, found misconduct in vaccine production, as well as in fulfillment of local supervisory responsibilities.

DPT refers to a combination of vaccines for three infectious diseases: diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus.
