Get immunized

打疫苗 (dǎ yìmiáo): get immunized

Milk powder, immunizations, school stabbings, school collapses, school bus incidents, test-focused education. In red, "Will your child escape these?"

After the 2008 Shanxi vaccination scandal in which a number of children died due to improperly stored vaccines, government officials were blamed. In 2010, the story resurfaced when veteran journalist Wang Keqin [zh] filed an in depth investigative report on the case for the China Economic Times (中国经济时报). After his report, Wang was told his life may be in danger if he returned to Shanxi. The term has since been used to taunt officials, as in “Minister Wu, don’t forget to get your daughter immunized!”
