China has made major strides in boosting vaccination services across the country. Officials shared the progress at the 2025 National Vaccines and Health Conference in Wuhan on Saturday.
Now, every township and subdistrict in China has at least one vaccination unit. This change brings immunization services directly to local communities. Shen Hongbing, deputy director of the National Health Commission, explained the system during the event.
Shen also leads the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration. He said China built a strong four-tier immunization program. The system operates at national, provincial, municipal, and county levels. It connects with a local service network that extends to villages.
This infrastructure ensures fast and convenient access to vaccines for all residents. It reflects China’s commitment to public health and disease prevention.
So far, more than 10 million people have signed up for digital vaccination certificates. These certificates record vaccination details and provide lifelong coverage for users.
The digital vaccination certificates also make record-keeping easier and more accurate. People can access their information using mobile apps and health platforms. This helps avoid errors and supports health monitoring.
Shen added that by the end of 2024, over 456,000 professionals were working in vaccination services. These workers play a critical role in keeping the public safe and informed.
Official data showed that national vaccine coverage remains above 90 percent. Cases of measles, hepatitis A, and Japanese encephalitis have fallen to record lows.
China now invests over 3 billion yuan each year to support vaccine access and distribution. This funding goes toward staff training, medical supplies, and cold chain equipment.
Looking ahead, officials aim to expand digital vaccination certificates even further. They believe technology and local services will ensure equal health access for everyone.
