It has been 100 years since the 1918 influenza pandemic but influenza is still an uncontrolled infectious disease. In some developed countries, the coverage rate of influenza vaccine can reach as high as 60%-70%, and even up to 90% or higher in some specific population, such as the elderly and healthcare workers. The coverage rate of influenza vaccination in Chinese people, however, is very low, only about 2%-3% per year. The limitations of influenza vaccine, and the purpose and significance of influenza vaccination, the imbalance of vaccine information and the importance of inoculation for healthcare workers are discussed in this paper. The resistance to popularize influenza vaccination is explored from different perspectives. It is hoped that more people will recognize the objective epidemiological data, and get rid of misunderstandings based on their experiences. Healthcare workers in particular, and the general population, should be encouraged to have an influenza vaccination.
自1918年流感大流行以来已过去100年，但流感仍是一种未得到有效控制的传染病。在一些发达国家，流感疫苗的接种率可高达60%-70%，在一些特定人群中，如老年人和医护人员，甚至可达90%或更高。然而，中国人群的流感疫苗接种率非常低，每年仅约2%-3%。本文讨论了流感疫苗的局限性、流感疫苗接种的目的和意义、疫苗信息的不平衡以及医护人员接种疫苗的重要性。从不同角度探讨了推广流感疫苗接种存在的阻力。希望更多人能够认识到客观的流行病学数据，摒弃基于自身经验的误解。尤其应鼓励医护人员和普通民众接种流感疫苗。
