Abstract
- What Is Already Known About This Topic?: The incidences of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) included in the Expanded Program on Immunization in China have decreased significantly in recent decades.<br />What Is Added by This Report?: This study summarizes the national incidences of nine VPDs and the seroprevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) under different immunization strategies from 1950 through 2021 in China. The sharpest decreases in VPD incidence and under-5-year HBsAg seroprevalence occurred during the latest stage of the National Immunization Program. The decreases in VPD incidence were most prominent among children under five years of age.<br />What Are the Implications for Public Health Practice?: These findings provide valuable insights for vaccine value assessment and emphasize the importance of implementing immunization strategies in targeted populations.<br />Competing Interests: No conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright and License information: Editorial Office of CCDCW, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention 2024.)
