Impact of a Free Influenza Vaccination Policy on Older Adults in Zhejiang, China: Cross-Sectional Survey of Vaccination Willingness and Determinants
Despite high willingness, knowledge gaps persist, particularly among adults aged 60-69 years. Targeted dissemination of policy information via social media platforms (eg, WeChat and TikTok) and community-driven campaigns is recommended to enhance vaccination uptake. This approach may serve as a model for regions implementing similar policies. Future studies should track actual vaccination uptake postpolicy and explore artificial intelligence-driven social media interventions to boost engagement.
