Development of vaccinology education in China, training of medical professionals with grand health concept

Abstract

Although there has been over 200 years in history for vaccination practice and its value has been fully confirmed, the health care providers in China have far less knowledge of vaccines than clinical drugs. The knowledge level in both vaccine practice and scientific personnel is uneven, and the public's vaccinology health literacy needs to be improved urgently. With the shortness of the concept of grand health and prevention, knowledge of vaccine existence in related courses in the form of 'fragmentation', there is a lack of systematic vaccinology knowledge in higher medical education system in our country. This paper reviews the value of vaccines, the necessity of vaccinology education and the status of talent training, and explores feasible countermeasures to strengthen vaccinology education in our country, so as to provide reference for cultivating medical professionals who respond to social needs.
