Eradication of vaccine-preventable diseases is one of the most important goals of public health interventions. Herd immunity can be established by national vaccination programs. However, once the national vaccination program stops for any reason, unprotected group will be generated depending on an unfortunate year of birth. Currently, there are 2 major concerns regarding vaccine cohort gaps in Japan: one is for the rubella vaccine, the other for the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
消除疫苗可预防疾病是公共卫生干预的最重要目标之一。国家疫苗接种计划可建立群体免疫。然而,一旦国家疫苗接种计划因任何原因停止,根据出生年份的不幸情况,就会产生未受保护的群体。目前,日本在疫苗队列差距方面主要有两大担忧:一是风疹疫苗,另一个是人类乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗。
