According to authorities, around 50 suspected unregistered injections were seized from more than 13 locations during a recent joint operation by the Department of Health and police. The operation targeted the Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) vaccine, which is said to prevent multiple cancers. However, Assistant Director of Health Frank Chan stated on Wednesday that no WT1 vaccines were found during the operation, with the team instead focusing on healthcare products like vitamins.
Chan clarified that the 50-plus suspected unregistered injections found are actually categorized as Part 1 poisons, and the relevant companies and individuals in charge are suspected of illegally selling and possessing unregistered pharmaceutical products. The ongoing investigation aims to hold those responsible accountable, with more arrests possible as the operation continues.
