The vaccine was produced by Shenzhen Kangtai Biological Products Co. which holds a > 50 % market share for this vaccine in China, and is used for cost-free vaccination of babies since 2005. The diseased babies were 2 to 8 months old. The reasons are unclear but one suspicion is that the vaccine was beyond its period of use. China SFDA suspended the use of the pertinent lot numbers.
