Symposium Site

On 11 December 2020, the TUSDG and the Think Tank Research Center (TTRC), Tsinghua University's School of Public Policy & Management (SPPM) co-hosted the "Workshop on Improving the Monitoring System for Abnormal Reactions to Covid-19 Prevention Vaccination" as part of the "Study on the development of a scientific think tank on vaccine regulation". At a critical time when many countries are facing the second outbreak of the pandemic and the world is working together to accelerate the research and development of the new vaccine, this expert symposium aims to further discuss the challenges and countermeasures for building the monitoring mechanism of abnormal vaccination reaction of the new vaccine.

The meeting invited a number of guests from government departments, international organisations, universities and other industries to attend, including the National Medical Products Administration, national and provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, The Party School of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee (National Academy of Governance), Zhejiang University, Tsinghua University and other experts and scholars in the field. In the face of the Covid-19 vaccine, which will be the most inoculated "global public health product" in human history, experts agree that "relived" vaccination is as important as "safe" production. Subsequently, the experts had an in-depth discussion on "improving the monitoring system for abnormal reactions to Covid-19 prevention vaccination, coordination and cooperation between National Health Commission (NHC) and National Medical Products Administration, and the responsibility of vaccine manufacturers", in order to ensure that the country improves the monitoring system for abnormal reactions at the institutional level, and provides important guarantees for the safety of mass vaccination in the future.
