Influenza and pneumonia can be prevented by vaccination, but they remain major causes of morbidity and mortality in age-related diseases. In most areas of China, the rates of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination are relatively low and public awareness of vaccination remains insufficient. Thus, it is essential to recommend influenza and vaccination to elderly people in clinical practice. Based on recently published studies and related documents issued by several vaccination authorities, such as the World Health Organization, the National Health and Wellness Committee, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, we propose official recommendations for influenza and vaccination in elderly people in China.
流感和肺炎可通过接种疫苗预防，但它们仍是与年龄相关疾病中发病和死亡的主要原因。在中国大部分地区，流感和肺炎球菌疫苗接种率相对较低，公众对疫苗接种的意识仍然不足。因此，在临床实践中向老年人推荐流感和肺炎球菌疫苗接种至关重要。基于世界卫生组织、国家卫生健康委、中国疾病预防控制中心、美国疾病控制与预防中心以及美国免疫实践咨询委员会等多个疫苗接种权威机构最近发表的研究和相关文件，我们提出针对中国老年人流感和肺炎球菌疫苗接种的官方建议。
