Abstract

Both poliomyelitis and hepatitis B are preventable through vaccination but cannot be treated once infected. Poliomyelitis was eliminated in China in 2000, while hepatitis B remains an epidemiological problem. The objective of this research is to understand what factors aside from medical treatment caused the elimination of one disease but not the other in China. A number of literature reviews and studies were gathered to understand the factors. The results are that the low awareness and social factors like the vaccine incident caused the arising case of hepatitis B. In comparison, people pay more attention to poliomyelitis and are willing to get vaccinated at a young age.
