Chinese leaders pledged concrete measures in response to the incident at the meeting.

Participants at the meeting stressed that it is important to improve laws and rules, define and implement regulatory duties, step up on-spot production inspection, and prompt companies to fulfill their own responsibilities. They also emphasized the necessity of establishing mechanisms to trace product quality and safety, and target product risks.

For vaccine production that contains high risks and requires expertise, the participants of the meeting also agreed that it was necessary to clarify the regulatory authority and special inspection agencies should be sent to assist local supervision. A more professional supervisory force will be formed.

Law-breaking companies will pay a much higher price for their illegal activities, according to the meeting. Those who dare to "challenge the bottom line of morality and conscience" will face severe punishment and crackdown, with zero tolerance.

People involved in cases that endanger public safety, such as defective vaccines, will receive severe punishment, including huge penalties and life-long bans in the sector.

Officials will be motivated to earnestly perform their duties, with those derelict in their duties held accountable.

The meeting stressed Party committees and governments at all levels should learn a lesson and take solid action to ensure vaccine quality and safety.
