Rumors have already widespread about the death cases suspectedly as a result of toxic vaccine. The Chinese public are still waiting for the truth as early released as possible by the local authorities and relevant departments.
For Wang Mingliang, the birth of a son should have been start of a season of joy in his village at the rural heart of north China.
But his little boy, Xiao'er, lived just seven months before he suffered convulsions and a fever, then died.
Wang said Xiao'er fell ill after vaccinations against tuberculosis and hepatitis.
His son was among thousands of children allegedly given tainted vaccines in a scandal that reporters and medical staff allege has left four dead and 74 disabled. Wang is one of more than 70 parents who have tried to sue the health authorities in Shanxi province.
In response to public outrage, the health ministry has ordered an inquiry after Wang Keqiang, one of China's top investigative reporters, revealed a web of alleged corruption and incompetence that put many children at risk.
The vaccines were stored without refrigeration by a company that had won a distribution monopoly from officials in Shanxi, which has a population of 35m, according to his report in the China Economic Times.
The report was "basically not true", said Li Shukai, the local deputy health director, in an interview with Xinhua, the state news agency.
Chen Tao'an, the whistleblower, said he had watched millions of batches of vaccines dumped "like potatoes" in the open air, exposed to sunlight or kept in hot rooms by the Beijing Huawei Biomedical company. Vaccines should be kept at controlled temperatures.
Chinese local governments and authorities need to enhance the sense of handling the brewing crisis. Crisis is not a Nightmare, but cover-up will turn out a disaster.
