Vaccination is the prevention and control of infectious diseases
The most economical, effective and scientific means
Since 1978, the mainland began to implement planned immunization for children, and it has been more than 40 years since this year, from the original "four seedlings to prevent six diseases" to the current "fourteen seedlings to prevent fifteen diseases". Over the past 40 years, smallpox has been eradicated through vaccination, polio-free targets have been achieved, and the morbidity and mortality rates of infectious diseases such as measles, hepatitis B, and Japanese encephalitis have dropped dramatically.
On December 1, 2019, the 11th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress passed the Vaccine Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, article 48 of which stipulates that when a child enrolls or enrolls in a nursery school, the childcare institution or school shall check the vaccination certificate, and if it is found that the immunization program vaccine has not been received in accordance with the regulations, it shall report to the vaccination unit undertaking the vaccination work in the child's place of residence or the location of the childcare institution or school, and cooperate with the vaccination unit to urge its guardian to re-inoculate in accordance with the regulations. Disease prevention and control establishments shall provide technical guidance for childcare establishments and schools to check vaccination certificates, and so forth.
Schools and kindergartens are densely crowded, children have weak resistance to infectious diseases, high susceptibility, and are easily infected and spread after contact with pathogens, resulting in outbreaks of infectious diseases. If the children have all been vaccinated as required, forming a herd immunity barrier, infectious diseases such as measles, rubella, mumps, viral hepatitis A, and viral hepatitis B can be avoided in schools and kindergartens.
Vaccination is the most economical, effective and scientific means of prevention and control of infectious diseases, vaccination certificate is a certificate for children's vaccination, but also a "health identity card" for children to enter kindergartens (kindergartens), schools and go abroad, and kindergarten (kindergarten) admission vaccination certificate inspection, is an important way to improve children's vaccination rate and protect children's health.

Q: Why should I check my vaccination certificate? A: 1. Children in childcare institutions and primary schools have weak resistance to infectious diseases, high susceptibility, and dense population in campuses and kindergartens, once infectious diseases occur, it is easy to cause epidemics in schools or kindergartens. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases in schools and kindergartens, before the child enters kindergarten, the vaccination clinic should verify whether the child has completed the vaccination of the immunization program to prevent the disease and move the threshold forward. Through the verification work, it is possible to find out whether the child has missed the seed in time so that it can be re-vaccinated.
2. In accordance with the Vaccine Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, when children enter kindergartens or schools, childcare institutions and schools shall check their vaccination certificates.
