The illegal vaccine ring was said to have been in operation since 2011. The ringleaders, who have been arrested, were allegedly a mother and a daughter who purchased the vaccines 3 from licensed 4 and unlicensed sources, and then sold them on to illegal agents or local disease control and prevention centres for high prices, reported Xinhua state news agency.

一位新浪微博用户说道：“这起关乎人命的重大事件，竟然没有一个监管官员出面道歉，没有一个相关官员被免职，医药监管部门无视百姓的生死，这真是让我们哀莫大于心死，”
