A doctor performs a cardiac checkup on a pupil sickened in the hepatitis A vaccination in Sixian County, Anhui Province June 27. Three health workers have been detained after the hepatitis A vaccination programme killed a six-year-old student in Shuiliu Primary School and made more than 200 others ill. Many students reported dizziness, breathing difficulties and limb numbness after village doctors vaccinated about 2,500 students in 19 schools in 17 villages, a move without official permission, according to local police. Premier Wen Jiabao has called on local goverments to make every possible effort to save these pupils sickened in the vaccination. (newsphoto)
