Premier Li Keqiang said there will be no leniency for anyone involved in the vaccine scandal that has shocked the nation. Li pledged to punish officials who are proven to have been derelict in their duty in the distribution of ineffective vaccines. Police in Shandong province said improperly stored or expired vaccines, worth more than CNY570 million, were sold in more than 20 provincial-level areas since 2011. Police have detained 37 suspects implicated in the scandal.
