China drug safety body finds no problems in inspections of vaccine makers

China's drug safety body has found no problems in its inspection of 45 vaccine makers and will step up supervision of vaccine quality, it said on Friday, following a scandal that put children at risk.

The inspections were done between July 23 and Aug 9, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement.

The statement comes after a public outcry over the discovery that Changsheng Biotechnology Co Ltd falsified data for a rabies vaccine and made an ineffective vaccine for babies. Beijing has promised to punish all those responsible and prevent a recurrence.
