Which department is responsible for epidemic prevention?

An epidemic prevention station is the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, which is a semi-industry and semi-administrative medical law enforcement unit. There are epidemic prevention stations in every city above the county level. The local health administrative department is the vaccination management unit, that is, the local health bureau. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and health centers are managed by local health administration departments. In response to incidents such as vaccine expiration and package swapping in the vaccination process in some places, some departments, localities and the general public have proposed that vaccination management should be further strengthened and vaccination behaviors should be standardized.
