Experts being sent out to ensure vaccine safety
China's top health authority has begun sending out supervisory teams across the country to ensure that people who may have received substandard rabies vaccines have access to remedial services.
On Tuesday, the National Health Commission began dispatching teams consisting of officials, public health experts and doctors to all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to supervise local authorities in carrying out services for those who have received rabies vaccinations provided by Changchun Changsheng Bio-tech Co.
Local authorities will also provide new rabies vaccinations with products made by other companies, and offer follow-up and consultation services, the commission said in a circular released to all provincial health authorities, and made public on Tuesday night.
