HPV immunisation programmes (China national programme)

A national programme giving free HPV vaccine to girls aged 13 and over, moving from pilots such as Ordos (2020) to a national rollout announced in October 2025 — replacing self-paid category II vaccination.

1 · What it gives

China’s HPV immunisation programme provides a free bivalent HPV vaccine to girls aged at least 13 who were born after 10 November 2011, as part of the National Immunisation Programme. It replaces the earlier practice of treating HPV vaccine as a non-programme, category II vaccine that individuals paid for themselves. The programme grew from regional pilots (such as Ordos from 2020) to a national rollout policy announced in October 2025; pilot coverage reached or exceeded 80 % of targeted girls in some regions.

2 · What it replaces 6

D2Disease-resistant crop varieties (marker-assisted breeding, stacked resistance genes, cisgenesis) instead of routine fungicide spray programmes
Replaces: Season-long protective fungicide programmes on susceptible varieties — e.g. 10–20 sprays of mancozeb/chlorothalonil/metalaxyl against potato …
SEED
D0Bacteriophage therapy for bacterial disease in fish and shrimp farming instead of medicated-feed antibiotics
Replaces: Antibiotics in medicated feed and bath treatments - oxytetracycline, florfenicol, oxolinic acid, enrofloxacin, sulfonamide-trimethoprim …

D2Cassava mealybug classical biological control with Anagyrus lopezi instead of insecticides
Replaces: Insecticide spraying (rarely affordable for smallholders) and uncontrolled crop losses from the invasive cassava mealybug in Africa
CLASSIC
D3Agricultural spraying drones instead of knapsack and manned aerial spraying
Replaces: Manual knapsack spraying, tractor spraying in small or wet fields, and manned aircraft/helicopter spraying
EAC
D3Augmentative biological control in greenhouse vegetables instead of insecticide and acaricide programmes
Replaces: Calendar sprays of insecticides and acaricides (organophosphates, neonicotinoids, pyrethroids, abamectin) against whitefly, thrips, aphids, …

D2Bumblebee pollination instead of hormone sprays and manual vibration in greenhouse tomatoes
Replaces: Fruit-setting hormone sprays (synthetic auxins such as 4-CPA / tomatotone) and labour-intensive manual flower vibration in greenhouse …

3 · How to implement 3 steps

  1. 1
    Census
    Local authorities count the target population.
  2. 2
    Central tender
    China CDC organises centralised tender procurement of vaccines.
  3. 3
    Local delivery
    Provincial and local bodies deliver through designated vaccination units.

4 · Who delivers

Leading companies and institutes (from the brief)

Delivery is by designated local vaccination units managed by local disease-control centres, supported by medical institutions and education departments. Vaccine suppliers win through the central tender; they are matched by the portal under Pharma & biologics.

5 · Rules & route to market

Route into Russia / EAEU: SEED · Ministry of Agriculture (State Register) / State Variety Commission (Gossortkomissia, trials)
2-3 seasons of state variety trials

6 · Money: tenders & grants

7 · Tech stack & innovations

Main risks from the sources: fiscal sustainability because service-delivery costs fall on local governments, vaccine hesitancy, and the logistics of reaching girls who are out of school.
