Hong Kong clinic run by AMH Medical Diagnostic Group that is under investigation for its sourcing of HPV vaccine closes down in Yau Ma Tei
- Customers demand refunds for the anticancer vaccine, which sole manufacturer insists it did not supply to the group
- Two people arrested but the company previously insisted the Gardasil 9 injections they offered were genuine
A private clinic in Hong Kong accused of using anticancer HPV vaccines from unknown sources has shut suddenly, leaving customers demanding refunds.
A notice, dated June 5, announcing the closure and referring to legal issues was left on the front door of the facility in Yau Ma Tei, which was locked up on Wednesday with the lights off.
The clinic, run by the AMH Medical Diagnostic Group (AMH), provided the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, but came under investigation last month after the sole manufacturer of the vaccine, MSD, said it did not supply the Gardasil 9 injections to the company.
The Customs and Excise Department has arrested a man, 61, and a woman, 44, from the group in relation to the suspected breach of regulations under the Import and Export Ordinance on importing pharmaceutical products.
The pair have been released on bail pending further investigation.
About a dozen people were seen lining up on Wednesday outside the Jordan venue. Its customer base mostly comes from mainland China.
