Abstract:
Immunization of children with special health care needs has always been one of the difficulties in community-level public health. In recent years the relevant consensus opinions on vaccination have been issued in China, but for a long time there is a lack of effective communication channels between disease prevention and clinical medical systems in China. Pediatricians play an unoccupied role in immunization, and community-level vaccinators face the difficulties including dilemma of disease identification, evidence-based evaluation and upward referral. These lead to the vaccination hesitancy, thus the multi-disciplinary management and three-level referral model of children with special health care needs should be improved urgently. It should strengthen the integration of public health and clinical care, with the active participation of pediatricians, to promote the immunization of children with special health care needs effectively.
