In order to identify the real barriers to the spread of Life Course Immunization and to collect the opinions of academia to remove them, we held the "Life Course Immunization Seminar for the 100-Year Life Era". As a result, academia provided an opinion to the government to accelerate NIP discussion on Shingles vaccination.

Recommendations

  • The progress of the above review is slow, and it is necessary to appeal to the government in lockstep with the voices of other vaccine-related trade associations. To this end, it is necessary to regularly exchange opinions with other associations, take initiatives in collaboration with academia, which is one of EFPIA Japan's strengths, and conduct smooth discussions.
