Abstract:
As an inevitable trend of social development, aging has generated a wide and far-reaching impact on every aspect of society, especially posing severe challenges for the heath system of all countries and regions around the world. Facing the objective reality of humans co-existing with diseases in a long term and people’s ever-growing demand for healthcare, the successful development of vaccine products can provide people with effective preventive measures to combat infectious diseases. This article summarizes the development and use of 4 vaccines that are suitable for the elder population, i.e., influenza vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, varicella-zoster virus vaccine and respiratory syncytial virus vaccine, aiming to provide some reference for the development and popularization of these vaccines and to improve the well-being of the senior citizens.
