Abstract

|
In the Republic of Korea, the national influenza vaccination program was implemented for the elderly 65 years of age and
older, pregnant women, and children aged 6 months to 13 years. This article introduces the main results of the national
influenza vaccination program for the 2021-2022 season. The 2021-2022 season is significant as it was the first year in
which influenza vaccination and COVID-19 vaccination were administered simultaneously in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although a large-scale national vaccination program was carried out at the same period, the influenza vaccination rate
increased compared to the previous year except for children. The vaccination rate for each target group was 80.5% for the elderly, 3.1%p compared to the previous year in the same target group, and 54.2% for pregnant women, an increase of 6.4%p from the previous year. The one-time vaccination rate for children was 73.8%, a decrease of 5.3%p compared to the previous year. Influenza vaccination adverse reactions were reported in a total of 108 cases (54 cases for the elderly, 20 cases for pregnant women, and 34 cases for children), which decreased to the previous year level. The number of people who received influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations on the same time was 51,983 and the reporting rate of adverse reactions among those who were vaccinated at the same time was
0.22%.
