QUANZHOU: China’s Health Ministry is investigating on how a baby boy died after receiving a hepatitis B vaccination in east China’s Fujian Province on Saturday, Xinhua reports today, citing Deputy Chief of Nan City’s Health Bureau Xie Zhiping, as saying.

The one-month old baby was given the shot at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at Shidao Hospital in Hongmei Township, Nan’an City, a county-level city in Quanzhou, the baby’s mother Huang Ali claimed.

“After the vaccination, he became fidgety and cried a lot after we returned home half an hour later,” she said, adding that he had been a healthy baby.

The baby, yet to be named, was Huang Ali’s second child. Her eldest daughter is five-year-old.

She claimed that she found her son’s limbs were cold and his nose were bleeding at 1 am on Sunday, and she rushed him to Shidao Hospital.

“He did not respond to the first-aid,” she said, adding that she suspects that the vaccine administered on her son was low quality, and it caused her son’s death.
