BEIJING — China’s top legislature is planning to impose heavy penalties on the production and sale of fake or substandard vaccines.

The draft vaccine administration law was submitted on April 20 to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress for the second reading.

Companies that produce or sell fake vaccines will face confiscation of illegal proceeds, raw materials, packaging materials and equipment, the draft says.

Production and business operation will be suspended for rectification, while drug registration certificates and even pharmaceutical production licenses can be revoked, it says.

Other penalties include a lifetime ban on pharmaceutical production and business operation.
