| Topic | Recent years' progress of the vaccination |
| Contents | The vaccination in Japan has been lagged behind the progress for the past 20 years. However, it is making up for the lost time by approving the Hib vaccination, PCV7 vaccination, uterocervical cancer vaccination, and Rotavirus vaccination. In Ibaraki Prefecture, a new vaccination is expected to be produced with the government subsidy in the future. It is a good thing for society that we could be ensured certain health by taking a vaccination. In this meeting, we will look back on the history of vaccination, and think of the advantage and disadvantage of it. |
