Vaccine probe in Chongqing must be fully transparent

RECENTLY, some patients complained that medical staff at a community health service center affiliated to Chongqing No 6 People's Hospital injected them with the vaccines that may not the ones they had paid for. The local authorities have announced some results of their investigation, but Southern Metropolis Daily urges them to be more transparent:

The local authorities said the vaccines were the right ones, but some of the medical staff derived illicit profits and they are conducting further investigations.

The scandal in March involving expired and improperly stored vaccines that were sold to hospitals throughout China dealt a severe blow to people's trust in the related authorities and any further incident might lead to widespread panic if not properly handled.
