After vaccine maker Changchun Changsheng Biotechnology admitted to their 'oversight,' the news is that a total of 15 personnel had been incarcerated by Chinese authorities for the scandal. Al Jazeera reports that the 15 people include the chairwoman of the company, taken in by the authorities for the crimes committed against the people.

The previously unknown chairperson was identified as Gao Junfang. Police in the city of Changchun initially withheld her name for safety reasons; as for the vaccine, the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) earlier said that it hadn't left the factory and had not been distributed. However, it was revealed that another equally sub-standard product had been shipped out.

No news had been heard of people being given the vaccine, but all the same, the CFDA has stopped the manufacturer from producing and distributing the problematic vaccines.

The reason China is being very aggressive in chasing after the pharmaceutical manufacturer makes sense; they are looking at being more involved globally in healthcare manufacturing. This latest furor only hurts them. The people are also in an uproar, according to Reuters, after finding out about the latest scandal involving the rabies vaccine.

Changsheng was found guilty of falsification-particularly documents that pertain to the rabies vaccine in question. The vaccine scandal is dangerous, given that the drug in question is one that is administered to babies as soon as they reach three months old or older. Such a sub-standard product could have adverse effects on an infant as it grows up.

Chinese vaccine shares plummeted as even Chinese Premier Li Keqiang condemned the actions of the company. His calls for swift action has resulted in the arrest of company personnel.

President Xi Jinping also issued a statement in spite of his economic trip to Africa. He cited the company's actions as 'vile' and that their actions had been nothing but 'shocking.' The incident was also widely shared on social media, showing an increasingly sophisticated nature to the people and their indignation over what has been a virtual crime.

The scandal will surely hurt as the Chinese people already harbors a degree of mistrust with its regulators, particularly in the medical sector.
