In China, efforts continue to maintain high in immunization rates. April is peak season for the disease. Our correspondent Li Shuang reports.

LI SHUANG Beijing "Here at a community health center, parents are bringing their children to receive the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, also known as the MMR vaccine. It's part of China's nationwide effort to maintain high immunization coverage and keep these contagious diseases under control."

China has maintained a high measles vaccination rate for years. National immunization data shows that vaccine coverage exceeds 95 percent in most regions. The incidence of measles nationwide has remained below one case per million people.

ZHOU XUEYANG Parent "I know vaccines are the best way to keep my child safe, so I make sure to follow the doctor's advice and get them vaccinated on time. Plus, kindergartens and schools check vaccination records, so skipping it could make it harder for my child to enroll."

Community health centers play a key role in keeping immunization rates high.

WANG HAIXIANG Deputy Director, Shunyi District Community Health Service Center "During home visits for newborns, we provide education on measles and inform parents about the importance of vaccination. In this community, the measles vaccine coverage has remained above 98 percent in recent years."

Local health centers also collaborate with schools and daycare centers to track and notify children who have missed their shots.

Beyond local clinics, the CDC plays a critical role in monitoring and preventing measles outbreaks.

WANG FENGSHUANG Deputy Director, Shunyi District Center for Disease Control and Prevention "We have a multi-layered surveillance system covering all medical institutions. When a suspected case appears, pathogen and serological testing should be conducted immediately. Once a case is confirmed, we conduct contact tracing and offer emergency vaccinations to prevent further spread."

With March to May being the peak season, some areas in the country may see some cases. But the CDC is confident that the situation will remain under control. Li Shuang, CGTN, Beijing.
