About Vaccinations

The immunization and vaccination policies in Japan have focused on infancy, early childhood, and childhood, among the various life stages such as infancy, early childhood, childhood, puberty, adolescence, adulthood, and old age.

These policies have contributed to better health and quality of life for the public. However, scientific evidence has been gathered from around the world that a life course approach to vaccination can help maintain public health and generate socioeconomic benefits.

As society develops a deeper interest in immunization and vaccination policy, HGPI will formulate policy proposals on the value that immunization and vaccination provide to each individual and society.
