Aside from the 202 persons who have been detained for their roles in the vaccine scandal, the administrative punishments handed down to 357 government employees, including dismissals and demotions, show the central government has "zero tolerance" toward the production and distribution of substandard vaccines.

The prompt launch of the accountability mechanism is expected to deter potential officials from neglecting their duties. But by holding just a few hundred officials accountable, the government cannot prevent such scandals in the future. Instead, the timely publication of the full investigation results, along with the vow to improve drug and vaccine supervision and management systems will help set up a long-term and effective vaccine management mechanism.

There cannot be any compromise on the safety of vaccines, especially those meant for children. And anyone who violates this principle should be held accountable.
