Make medical moves transparent

Many netizens have questioned the country's intensive measles vaccination program. But the health authorities have denied rumors against the vaccination program, saying all the vaccines used have passed quality tests, says an article in China Youth Daily. Excerpts:

The largest immunization program against measles in the country has been encountering opposition from many netizens. Parents have been worried over rumors circulating on the Web that the "vaccines given by America as gifts could be slow poison".

The health authorities' prompt denial has calmed many parents' nerves and made them believe that the vaccinations are indeed effective.

The authorities' prompt response to criticisms demonstrates how much they value public opinion. It has cleared the doubts of many skeptics, too.

But more than just denial of rumors is needed to rid the public of its worries over the necessity of the vaccination program. In fact, the reason why such rumors gain strength is people's doubt over food and medicine quality. From the 2008 baby milk food scam to the recent hogwash oil controversy, a series of scandals has shaken people's confidence in quality control.

Therefore, health departments at all levels should try to understand people's concern over the quality of food and medicine, and take effective measures to ensure that only safe products enter the market.

The authorities should learn a lesson from earlier vaccine scandals, and reassure the public that the measles vaccines are safe and effective.

Besides, the authorities should use all possible channels to inform the public well in advance about any new social or medical measures being taken.
