Doctor's answer:
The current implemented immunization program primarily targets one-year-old children for the basic immunization and subsequent booster immunization of BCG, polio oral drops, combined DTP vaccine, measles vaccine, and hepatitis B vaccine. According to the prescribed child immunization schedule, children must receive eight doses of preventive injections and three oral doses of sugar vaccine within the first year of life. From 18 months to 2 years, 4 years, and 7 years of age, booster immunization is still required, involving five preventive injections and two oral doses of sugar vaccine. Based on practical disease prevention needs, the program also includes Japanese encephalitis vaccine and meningococcal vaccine, with timed and designated vaccination sites.
