Abstract
The elderly population in China faces a significant burden of influenza, but the influenza vaccination rate among this group remains far below international recommended standards due to factors such as the underdeveloped adult immunization service system, high vaccination costs, and insufficient awareness among both the elderly and healthcare professionals. It is recommended that China implement a free or reimbursement policy influenza vaccination for elderly in border regions, improve the adult immunization service system, enhance the awareness of healthcare professionals and the elderly, and strengthen the research and post-vaccination monitoring of vaccines tailored to the elderly population to increase the influenza vaccination rate among the elderly.
