Vaccines did not cause the deaths of nine children shortly after they
were inoculated for hepatitis in a Chinese government program and no
links have been found in eight other cases still being investigated,

At the same time, China's national product safety watchdog said three
drug makers — one of whom was scrutinized over the recent deaths — had
suspended production because they failed to meet new manufacturing
standards.
