Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent herpes zoster (HZ) and related complications. This study aimed to investigate the preference of HZ vaccine among older people.
A discrete choice experiment was performed.
In total, 178 adults aged ≥50 years were invited to choose between HZ vaccination scenarios using six vaccine attributes. Two equations were used to calculate participants' willingness to pay for the vaccine and their predicted choice probability.
The attributes that significantly influenced participants' vaccine choices were lower cost, higher effectiveness, reduced side-effects and vaccination of others in their surroundings.
Improving medical insurance coverage or reducing the cost of the HZ vaccine will encourage more people to be vaccinated, resulting in reduced burden of disease among older people.
接种疫苗是预防带状疱疹（HZ）及相关并发症的最有效方法。本研究旨在调查老年人对 HZ 疫苗的偏好。
采用离散选择实验。
共邀请 178 名年龄≥50 岁的成年人使用六种疫苗属性在 HZ 疫苗接种方案之间进行选择。使用两个方程来计算参与者对疫苗的支付意愿和他们的预测选择概率。
显著影响参与者疫苗选择的属性是更低的成本、更高的有效性、更少的副作用和周围环境中其他人的接种。
改善医疗保险覆盖范围或降低 HZ 疫苗的成本将鼓励更多的人接种疫苗，从而减轻老年人的疾病负担。
