我们比较了仅提供流感疫苗的基于年龄的免费疫苗接种计划或肺炎球菌疫苗与基于限制风险疾病的流感疫苗接种计划辅以自费免疫的覆盖率。我们还比较了两种手段通知公众，无论是通过邮寄个人提醒或通过大众媒体只，四十一个行政区，共41500人年龄在65岁或以上的人参加了研究，在连续三个赛季，从1992年至1994年。基于风险疾病的计划实现的平均疫苗接种覆盖率为20%，基于年龄的计划和大众媒体信息实现的平均疫苗接种覆盖率为52%，基于年龄的计划和邮寄的个人提醒实现的平均疫苗接种覆盖率为82%。个人提醒函的效力仅限于发出的年份。在基于年龄的流感疫苗接种计划中增加肺炎球菌疫苗对接受率的影响很小。(C)1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
We compared the coverage achieved with either an age-based free-of-charge vaccination program offering influenza vaccine alone or with pneumococcal vaccine with a restricted risk disease-based influenza vaccination program supplemented by self-funded immunization. We also compared two means of informing the public, either using mailed personal reminders or through the mass media only, Forty-one administrative districts with a total of 41500 persons aged 65 years or older participated in the study during three consecutive seasons from 1992 to 1994. The average vaccination coverage achieved by the risk disease-based program was 20%, by the age-based program with mass media information, 52%, and by the age-based program with mailed personal reminders 82%, The availability of free-of-charge vaccines is thus not sufficient to ensure a high vaccination rate. The effect of the personal reminders was restricted to the year they were sent. The addition of pneumococcal vaccine to the age-based influenza vaccination program had little influence on the acceptance rate. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
