新中国成立初期的种痘运动

Vaccination Campaigns in the Early of New China

新中国成立初期,为了尽早消灭天花,中国共产党和人民政府领导卫生防疫部门,充分团结发动广大的医药卫生从业人员,通过开展卫生宣教、大量培训种痘人员、实行种痘责任制、解决重点地区的防疫问题等措施,在全国范围内开展了一场规模宏大的种痘运动。经过3年多的努力,完成了5亿余人的牛痘接种任务,迅速、有效地降低了天花的发病率和死亡率。种痘运动的开展不仅革除了群众中长久以来根深蒂固的不卫生种痘观念和一些陋俗,而且使党和政府赢得了广大民众的普遍赞许,大大提高了民众对新政府的政治认同。

In order to eradicate smallpox as soon as possible, the CPC and the people's government led health and epidemic prevention departments and fully unifi ed the general medicine and health care professionals to launch a large-scale vaccination campaign in the early of new China by conducting health education, training a large number of doctors to give vaccination, executing vaccination responsibility system, solving the epidemic prevention problem in key areas and other measures. After more than three years of efforts, over 500 million people got smallpox vaccinations and quickly and effectively reduced the morbidity and mortality of smallpox. The development of giving smallpox vaccination activity not only abolished the masses' deep-rooted unhygienic vaccination ideas and some domestic abuses, but also made the party and the government win the majority of the people's praises and greatly improved the public's political identity to the new government.
