THE State Council, China's Cabinet, yesterday approved a plan to create a national vaccine provision system in order to boost the country's ability to cope with epidemic emergencies.
The plan was passed at a regular meeting held by the State Council and presided over by Premier Wen Jiabao.
"Our vaccine reserves can meet the basic demands of regular epidemic prevention, but our ability to research, manufacture and preserve supplies for emergencies are inadequate," said a statement released afterward.
Although acknowledging vaccination as "one of the most economic and effective measures" to prevent infectious diseases, the statement said that the actual vaccination rate in the country is still comparatively low.
According to the plan, a vaccine provision system that can supply regular use and at the same time greatly boost the country's ability to cope with emergencies should be set up by 2015.
By 2020, the system should be able to cope with emergencies and epidemics as effectively as those in developed countries, said the plan.
Six types of vaccines are currently included in China's research and manufacturing schedule, the plan said, adding that 9.4 billion yuan (US$1.45 billion) from the central government budget has been allocated to key projects.
