The units in charge of vaccination will base on the quantity of received vaccines and the expiry date of the vaccines to administer vaccinations to the eligible subjects, ensuring that the vaccine is delivered to the target population with time and efficiency guaranteed.

Based on the actual situation, functional bodies will actively develop vaccination plans at large-scale vaccination points set up in the city, district-level health centres, commune/ ward health stations, mobile vaccination vehicles, schools and qualified vaccination points at health care facilities.
