Chinese boy dies after being given MMR vaccine - South China Morning Post

-

The authorities in central China are investigating the death of a boy who died a day after receiving the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine.

The two-year-old, identified only by his surname Hu, received the MMR shot on Tuesday at a health centre in Kaifu district in Hunan province’s Changsha city.

The boy lost consciousness the following night and was rushed to hospital but doctors were unable to revive the boy, Shanghai-based news portal Thepaper.cn reported.

The police are also advising the parents to release the body for a postmortem examination to determine the cause of death.

Chinese vaccine maker found to have forged production data for over four years

The centre has been temporarily closed during the investigation.

The case follows China’s largest vaccine scandal involving nearly 500,000 substandard DPT vaccines, which inoculate children against diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus, manufactured and sold by Chinese drug firm Changchun Changsheng Biotechnology.

The vaccines have not been linked to any deaths or illnesses.

The local authority said the vaccine the boy had been given was properly certified and had an expiry date in May next year, Thepaper reported.

China plans to let victims sue vaccine makers for punitive damages after string of scandals

According to his medical report, the boy had a rare congenital lung malfunction called horseshoe lung which is associated with other lung and heart problems.

However, a health check before he was inoculated showed no abnormalities. All the medical staff involved had valid certification.

The boy had previously received vaccinations for hepatitis B, tuberculosis, polio and Hansen’s disease, according to the news portal, as well as a DPT jab.

China released a draft Vaccine Management Law earlier this month, which would allow people to sue drug makers for cases involving death or serious illness caused by negligence.

Following the Changchun Biotechnology vaccines scandal, mainland Chinese parents flocked to Hong Kong to inoculate their children.

advanced primary care of the ozarks :: Article Creator Integrating Rx With Advanced Primary Care Will Unlock Better Health America's healthcare industry has been squeezed tightly over the past few years with post-pandemic fallout, a declining economy and high consumer expectations. Retail pharmacies are no exception, and it's clear that the traditional pharmacy model is in crisis. With rising costs for medications and supplies and changing consumer retail habits, this doesn't bode well for the brick-and-mortar community pharmacy. Simply put: the traditional pharmacy model is unsustainable. We will soon see a rash of closing retail pharmacies and consumers scrambling to fill needed prescriptions affordably. You might be asking yourself why this should matter to you as HR and benefit professionals. I serve as chief human resources officer for a company that works with many large employers concerned about healthcare costs and the de...
