Substandard DPT vaccine batch produced by Wuhan Institute of Biological Products
Chinese regulatory sampling found that a DPT vaccine batch produced by Sinopharm’s Wuhan Institute of Biological Products failed potency requirements. Regulators reported that 400,520 doses were affected. The stated cause was a temporary filling-equipment malfunction that made the vaccine suspension uneven. Unused doses were recalled and destroyed, and the subsidiary was fined and required to strengthen equipment maintenance, filling procedures, training and quality controls.
