Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the recommended flu vaccine components for the 2025-2026 Northern Hemisphere flu season. Due to the constantly evolving nature of influenza viruses (including those that spread and infect humans), in order to maintain vaccine effectiveness, the World Health Organization recommends seasonal influenza vaccine ingredients twice a year for both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere influenza seasons. According to the World Health Organization, there are approximately 1 billion cases of seasonal influenza each year, including 3 to 5 million severe cases. Seasonal influenza causes 290000 to 650000 respiratory deaths annually. Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent influenza, and it is particularly important for people at high risk of influenza complications and their caregivers. The World Health Organization recommends that the following population be vaccinated annually, including pregnant women, children aged 6 months to 5 years, people over 65 years old, individuals with chronic diseases, and healthcare workers. The "Technical Guidelines for Influenza Vaccination in China (2023-2024)" recommend that all individuals aged ≥ 6 months and without contraindications for vaccination should receive the influenza vaccine. Recently, the epidemic prevention and control team of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council issued the Notice on Doing Well in the Prevention and Control of Key Infectious Diseases such as COVID-19 Infection in the Spring of 2025. The notice points out that the current influenza is still at a moderate epidemic level, and proposes that all regions should continue to do a good job in vaccination work. Data shows that the overall vaccination rate of influenza vaccine in China is much lower than that in developed countries, with a vaccination rate of around 3% throughout the year (in developed countries such as the United States, the adult vaccination rate is about 50%, and the elderly vaccination rate is about 70%). The influenza vaccination rate for key populations such as children, medical personnel, and the elderly urgently needs to be improved. The reason for this is that during the centralized vaccination period of influenza vaccine, there is insufficient convenience for vaccination, the public is not aware of vaccination channels/information, the accessibility of vaccination services is insufficient, and there are misunderstandings among the public and professionals about the severity of influenza, all of which lead to hesitation in vaccination. Further exploration is needed on how to improve the popularization and accessibility of influenza vaccines. Data shows that only about 60% of the total number of influenza vaccines administered annually in China are expected to receive batch issued qualified reports. This means that many influenza vaccines that receive batch issued qualified reports are scrapped every year, leading to oversupply from the perspective of vaccine application. A questionnaire survey targeting frontline vaccine operators shows that the current influenza vaccine vaccination services mainly rely on children's immunization planning vaccination clinics. Due to factors such as the opening time of vaccination sites, some areas do not match the annual centralized release of vaccination demand. According to the 8th week influenza weekly report of the National Influenza Center in 2025, from February 17 to 23, the National Influenza Center analyzed 238 A (H1N1) pdm09 subtype influenza strains, and 99.6% of them were similar to the vaccine strain, indicating a high degree of match between the vaccine strain and the epidemic strain. Industry insiders suggest that measures can be taken from multiple aspects to meet the actual vaccination needs of the vaccinated population. Improve the vaccination rate of children against influenza, promote the implementation of campus influenza vaccination programs, and reduce the burden on schools without compromising their health. Organize health and disease control institutions on a school by school basis to provide centralized vaccination services, improve student vaccination rates, reduce absenteeism rates due to illness, and narrow the gap between urban and rural schools. Improve the influenza vaccination rate of medical staff and form a medical prevention integration effect. Medical institutions can set up vaccination clinics or temporary vaccination points to provide free and convenient vaccination services to medical staff. Improve the influenza vaccination rate among the elderly and people with chronic diseases, and explore more convenient forms of influenza vaccination. Set up temporary vaccination points for elderly care and rehabilitation institutions, provide green channels, door-to-door vaccination, monitoring and follow-up for the elderly, and effectively improve the convenience and service quality of vaccination. In addition, the vaccination time on weekdays can be extended, and outpatient clinics can be opened on weekends to meet the vaccination needs of residents; Establish and improve the exemption mechanism and compensation mechanism for adverse reactions of vaccination services, eliminate the concerns of medical personnel about recommending vaccines, and strengthen science popularization education.
