In December 2023, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published the updated 2024 Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) Adult Immunization Schedule, which is available online for access by the public and healthcare professionals. These new guidelines come at a time when the incidence of vaccine-preventable viral infections from SARS-CoV-2 (JN.1), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, and measles are increasing in adults and children due to vaccine hesitancy, or non-compliance. This editorial aims to highlight the ongoing global health concerns for the consequences of increasing reports of vaccine-preventable infections, including SARS-CoV-2 (JN.1), influenza, RSV, and measles, to understand the causes of vaccine hesitancy, and introduce some public health measures that could improve vaccine uptake.
2023 年 12 月,美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)发布了更新的 2024 年免疫实践咨询委员会(ACIP)成人免疫接种时间表,供公众和医疗保健专业人员在线访问。这些新指南发布之际,由于疫苗犹豫或不遵守规定,导致 SARS-CoV-2(JN.1)、呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)、流感和麻疹等可通过疫苗预防的病毒感染在成人和儿童中的发病率不断上升。本社论旨在强调不断增加的可通过疫苗预防的感染(包括 SARS-CoV-2(JN.1)、流感、RSV 和麻疹)报告所带来的全球健康问题,了解疫苗犹豫的原因,并介绍一些可能提高疫苗接种率的公共卫生措施。
