Vaccine industry in China - statistics & facts
China is one of the world鈥檚 most populous countries, and the recent uplifting of its one-child policy has consequently shifted the demographic of the country, making its vaccine industry a lucrative market for healthcare manufacturers. To strengthen the healthcare system for newborns and children to the age of 14, the government has attempted to make the most common vaccines like DTP (Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis), MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella), hepatitis A and B, meningococcal and polio vaccines compulsory and readily accessible. Through the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI), these vaccines have achieved efficient coverage throughout the nation.
