Abstract:
ObjectiveCOVID-19 vaccination is critical for pandemic control， especially in the elderly. Compared with developed countries， the rate of full vaccination and booster vaccination for the elderly in China is low， making it urgent to accelerate the process of vaccination for the elderly in China. MethodsThis study summarizes the policy experiences of the United Kingdom， the United States， Singapore， and South Korea by sorting relevant literature and government websites， analyzes the current performance and reasons for COVID-19 vaccination among the elderly in China， and explores strategic suggestions for improving COVID-19 vaccination in the elderly in terms of vaccination priority groups， service provision， and vaccination intention. ResultsIt is important to vaccination rate for the elderly in China by focusing on the priority vaccination population， establishing a permanent mechanism based on the family doctor system， and increasing the willingness to vaccinate. ConclusionContinued reinforcement of COVID-19 vaccination for the elderly is needed， and the existing vaccination model is overwhelming. We should establish a permanent mechanism based on the family doctor system to transfer from a mobilization model to a regular vaccination model.
