To date,a total of 14 vaccines have been introduced into China National Immunization Program(NIP),covering 15 related diseases.However,the National Immunization Program has not introduced any new vaccine in the past 15 years,only making minor adjustments to the dosage of certain vaccines,maintaining the state of 14 vaccines against 15 diseases for many years.The World Health Organization(WHO)recommends that all countries should include 10 vaccines in their NIPs,yet 4 of them are not included in Chinese NIP.The four vaccines are against Streptococcus pneumoniae,Haemophilus influenzae type b,rotavirus,and human papil-lomavirus(HPV),respectively.The four pathogens have induced a heavy disease burden in China.So,it is rec-ommended in this article that disease surveillance should be reinforced to evaluate disease burden and economic expenditure.Meanwhile,an assessment of vaccine efficacy should be implemented to provide more evidence for including the four vaccines in NIP.
