Vaccination is an effective means to prevent and control infectious diseases, and the invention and vaccination of vaccines is an important achievement of human public health. Through vaccination, China has implemented the national immunization program, effectively protecting children's health and life safety? [2]。 Vaccination can not only effectively control the incidence of infectious diseases, but also prevent the recurrence and outbreak of some diseases. For example, after 1995, China blocked the spread of local polio virus by taking oral polio sugar pills, so that thousands of children avoided physical disabilities; After the popularization of hepatitis B vaccine for newborns, the hepatitis B virus carrying rate of children under 5 years old in China dropped from 9.7% in 1992 to 0.3% in 20 14 years. In the middle of last century, the annual incidence of measles in China was as high as 9 million. By 2020, the number of measles cases will be less than 1 000. Diphtheria can cause hundreds of thousands of children to get sick every year before universal immunization of children. After 2006, there were no diphtheria cases reported in China? [2]。
In order to protect children's health, vaccination needs to take the following preventive measures:
