Abstract
I (Xiaofeng Liang) graduated from the Public Health Department, Shanxi Medical College University, in 1984 and was assigned to the Department of Epidemic Prevention, Gansu Provincial Health Bureau. My responsibility was for tuberculosis control and for managing the immunization program. It was from that time forward that I was bound inextricably with vaccination. It was also the beginning of my understanding that measles, polio, and other infectious diseases could be controlled by vaccination and that vaccination was critically important to the health of children.
