Public health crises are challenging for governments and health systems. Vaccines are a key solution to viruses, and immunization has always played a critical role during public health crises in the past century. In the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), we explore China's vaccination strategies and challenges. Accordingly, we identify the causes of the high vaccination rate in China, including technical and nontechnical factors. Considering the impact of China's high vaccination rate on the global pandemic, we argue that it has strengthened China's opportunities and capabilities to participate in global development, enhanced the equity of vaccines and given the world community more choices.
公共卫生危机对政府和卫生系统构成挑战。疫苗是应对病毒的关键解决方案,在过去一个世纪的公共卫生危机中,免疫接种一直发挥着至关重要的作用。在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的背景下,我们探讨了中国的疫苗接种策略和挑战。据此,我们确定了中国高疫苗接种率的原因,包括技术和非技术因素。考虑到中国高疫苗接种率对全球疫情的影响,我们认为这增强了中国参与全球发展的机遇和能力,提高了疫苗的公平性,并为国际社会提供了更多选择。
