In order to prevent and control infectious diseases, improve public health and conform to national inoculation regulations, the Beijing Public Health Bureau has commenced the purchase of flu vaccines and corresponding services for 2007.
Under the bureau’s plan, people over the age of 60 will be inoculated with the influenza vaccine at no charge and primary and secondary school students will be inoculated with the influenza vaccine at a charge of RMB20 per person with allowances from the bureau. The inoculation period is scheduled to commence in October and will last until December 2007.
The bureau selected the bid from Sinovac, which has so far delivered 140,000 adult doses of Anflu at RMB34 per dose.
