摘      要：The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)vaccine effectively reduces the possibility of severe illness and mortality in older adults and is essential for controlling the epidemic.Compared with developed countries,the coverage of full vaccination and booster vaccination for older adults aged 60 or above in China is poor,making it urgent to accelerate their vaccination in China.We discussed potential reasons for low vaccination coverage for older adults aged 60 or above and presented strategies to promote their COVID-19 vaccination in China.
