The World Health Organization recommended on Tuesday that China include five additional vaccines in the country's most regulated vaccine program.
The recommendation came as the WHO said it is confident in the quality of vaccines made in China, following a scandal involving substandard ones worth 570 million yuan ($88 million).
The five vaccines are important to all children, Lance Rodewald, team leader of the Expanded Program on Immunization, WHO China, said at a news conference.
