Abstract
= .037). In this work, we observed that the coverage is poor but the immunization desire is high regarding influenza vaccination. Interestingly, older age was associated with higher coverage and lower willingness. These suggest that raising immunization rates among older people with chronic conditions and strengthening health education for caregivers should be the primary concerns.
