| Research Abstract |
(1) Immunization coverage in Laos and Mongolia
In Laos, "Situational analysis of stagnated vaccine coverage based on calculation of coverage in vaccine card", "Tetanus vaccination and child baring aged women", "risk factors affecting immunization status among under 5 children" were carried out and gave presentation at 21^<st> Japan Association for International Health at Nagasaki. In Mongolia, "Assessment of long-term persistence of seroprotection of hepatitis B vaccine among 5-10 years old children in Ulaanbaatar" was carried out, an presented at 9^<th> International Congress of the Asian Society of Clinical Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Kobe. The paper has been submitted to an international academic journal.

illegal damping and recognize the importance of segregation sharps or needle from syringes. 84% of the hospital staff at Mongolia have experienced needle stick injury, of them, the nurses are the leading victims.80% of a total injured did not report to administration at hospital after the incidents, and 75% of them did not take any medication, so high risk of potential infection with hepatitis B or C is considered. In Laos, needle stick injury was 53% of a total medical staff, and risk factors are younger age, fewer years of working experiences, suggesting the necessity of the training of safe injection. Both were presented at 21^<st> Japan Association for International Health.
(3) KAP of Chinese students on injection injury
The students were high knowledge of the risk of infection due to injury of needle contaminated with blood born pathogens. However, less intention to live with HIV positive students, and unsafe behavior were observed among students of potential high risk exposure such as dental students and 4^<th>/5^<th> medical students. More education on occupational safety is needed. This was presented at 21^<st> Japan Association for International Health, Nagasaki. Less
