Draft law heralds strict vaccine management

How to plug all the loopholes that have been revealed by repeated vaccine scandals involving makers and local watchdogs in recent years became a pressing concern after the most recent scare involving the production of substandard vaccines by Changchun Changsheng Life Sciences Limited.

President Xi Jinping called that incident hideous and said that people's health should always be a top priority. The bottom line of safety should be resolutely safeguarded, he said.

Which is what a new law on the management of vaccines aims to do.
