Abstract: In July 2018, two of the China’s largest vaccine makers had been revealed providing defective children vaccines, which induce great outrage sweeping Chinese social media in last month. 650,000 doses of diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT) vaccines and 110,000 doses of rabies vaccines did not reach the potency standard and sold in at least 10 provincial areas. This is not the first time for this kind of vaccine scandal and the Chinese government has now been investigating the involved companies. As Chinese physicians and surgeons, we DO hope to supervise and witness the government to improve the health regulation system and restore the public’s confidence.
