Immunisation is an important tool to protect individual and public health both in routine universal coverage and in complex emergency situations. Japan legally supports routine childhood immunisation against only eight diseases and recently experienced pandemic influenza and devastating earthquake and tsunami. This perspective aims to describe the current issues on Japan's immunisation policy in routine, pandemic and post-tsunami situations and to suggest solutions for them.
免疫接种是保护个人和公共健康的重要工具，无论是在常规的全民覆盖范围内，还是在复杂的紧急情况下。日本在法律上仅支持针对八种疾病的常规儿童免疫接种，最近经历了大流行性流感和破坏性的地震及海啸。本观点旨在描述日本在常规、大流行和海啸后情况下免疫接种政策的当前问题，并为这些问题提出解决方案。
