In China, vaccine is customarily divided into vaccine I and Vaccine II. Vaccine I is offered for free, and it's priced and purchased uniformly by government, covering the major epidemic diseases of Hepatitis B, Idemic Encephalitis, Tetanus, etc. Vaccine II is that vaccine which is inoculated voluntarily at people's own expense. It is independently priced and has large profit margins, but there are intense competitions in the market. The frequently-used Vaccine II includes Pneumonia vaccine, Varicella Vaccine, Type B Haemophilus Influenzae Conjugate Vaccine, Influenza Vaccine, Rabies Vaccine and so on. In China, Vaccine I markets are occupied by state-owned enterprises, while foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises have certain advantages in Vaccine II markets.
