[Guidance and recommendations for adult vaccination in China].

Vaccination is a highly cost-effective public health measure, and the importance of adult vaccination should not be overlooked. This guideline was jointly developed by experts and clinicians from national, provincial, and municipal centers for disease control and prevention, as well as universities, with the aim of establishing an authoritative, expert-recommended guideline on adult vaccination. During its development, experts referred to the latest domestic and international guidelines and research on adult vaccination. The scientific rigor and practicality of the guideline were ensured through systematic literature reviews and in-depth expert discussions. It primarily covers the following: the current status of adult vaccination domestically and internationally, recommended vaccines for adults, vaccination recommendations for key populations, and the challenges and future directions for adult vaccination. Its core goal is to achieve lifelong immunization across the entire population, promote adult vaccination, and provide scientific and standardized guidance for healthcare workers. This will help increase adult vaccination rates, reduce the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases, and ultimately protect public health.
