Abstract
Vaccination is an effective measure to control infectious diseases and provides lifelong health protection for the public. In recent years, vaccination for adults, especially the elderly, has gradually attracted attention in China, but its vaccination rate is significantly lower than that in some developed countries. To improve adult vaccine coverage, an immunization service model featuring adult vaccine prescriptions has been explored in some provinces of China. This study describes the implementation and characteristics of an adult vaccine prescription pilot program in Shandong Province and discusses considerations related to the concept, compliance, advantages, and difficulties of the vaccine prescription model. Suggestions for developing the vaccine prescription system in China are also provided.
