Girl’s death after rabies shot hits raw nerve in China after vaccine scandals.

A three-year-old girl has died in eastern China one day after receiving an anti-rabies vaccination – striking a raw nerve in a country still reeling from a series of vaccine scandals in recent years.

The girl was vaccinated after being scratched on the finger by a pet dog. Her father, surnamed Zhang, took her to the local hospital in Lianyungang city, Jiangsu province, as a precaution and she received the shot around 23 hours later, he told online media portal The Paper. Zhang and his family agreed to an autopsy on April 30 and asked investigators to seal the remaining batch of vaccines as well as his daughter’s medical records and relevant footage from the hospital’s surveillance cameras.

The company was not among those implicated in previous scandals and it is unknown what role, if any, the rabies shot may have played in the girl’s death.
