摘要

Children in the Asia Pacific region are still suffering from certain vaccine-preventable diseases. The current study surveyed the national immunization programs and vaccine uptake of traditional and newly developed vaccines in 12 countries in this area. The results showed children in most countries were well protected from conventional vaccine-preventable diseases, while immunization programs for certain diseases such as poliovirus or measles should be strengthened in certain countries. Protection against pneumococcus, rotavirus, and human papillomavirus infections were obviously inadequate in most of the countries in the region. Promoting coverage of newly developed vaccines will benefit a great number of children in this area.
