Immunization is the most effective public health intervention to protect children from vaccine preventable diseases (VPD). Expanded program on immunization by the World Health Organization recommends several important vaccines should be included in the national immunization program (NIP);however, some of the critical vaccines have not included in the current NIP in Japan, including universal hepatitis B vaccine, Haemophilus influenza type B vaccine, Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, and human papilloma virus vaccine. These vaccines have been provided as a voluntary vaccination in Japan, therefore, the vaccination rates of these vaccines have been low and these VPD has not been controlled in Japan. Because all vaccines included in the NIP are determined by the Immunization Law in Japan, it is critical to modify the law to be flexible to alter the immunization schedule based on the available vaccines. Furthermore, new vaccine policy making system is urgently needed to determine the vaccination policy directed to the government in Japan.
