Influenza is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in the older adult, and it represents a significant economic burden for health-care services. We have reviewed the published literature relating to influenza vaccine effectiveness and the cost-effectiveness of influenza vaccination in comparison with other health-care interventions and conclude that influenza vaccination is one of the most cost-effective interventions possible in the older adult population.
流感是发病和死亡的一个重要原因，在老年人中尤为如此，并且它给医疗服务带来了巨大的经济负担。我们回顾了已发表的有关流感疫苗效力以及与其他医疗干预措施相比流感疫苗接种的成本效益的文献，得出的结论是，流感疫苗接种是老年人群中最具成本效益的干预措施之一。
