Syrian Coalition Vows Justice for the Victims of Vaccination Campaign

The Syrian Coalition said it has assigned a commission of inquiry headed by Nasr al-Hariri Secretary General of the Syrian Coalition, to study the findings of the interim government’s report on the disaster of the vaccination campaign in Idlib province, where 30 children died after they were injected with tainted measles vaccines. The committee included Jawad Abu Hatab, head of the medical committee, Hisham al-Dairi, former director of the vaccination program in the Syrian Ministry of Health, Abdul Jalil al-Hariri, chairman of the Syrian Bar Association and Muhannad Abdul Qadir, secretary of the Syrian Coalition’s medical committee. The Commission was mandated to submit its final report and recommendations to the Syrian Coalition on September 25th. An investigative hearing session will be held for the head of the caretaker government and the interim Minister of Health on September 25th to discuss the results of the investigation. Nasr al-Hariri said in a posting on his Facebook page that “my soul will not know tranquility and peace until there is justice to these little buds that were wasted as a result of negligence and carelessness.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
