Abstract

During the yearly seasonal influenza, A virus epidemic season, China has a relatively high infection rate among children under the age of five. By the age of three, Chinese preschoolers begin to join kindergarten and engage in social life and are at risk for getting and spreading influenza A viruses. Yet, for a variety of reasons, including a lack of parental knowledge and economical restrictions, the vaccination rate among youngsters may be higher. As a consequence, a large number of children are afflicted, imposing a significant financial burden on society and families. The purpose of this paper is to examine the mechanisms of action and potential side effects of the three seasonal influenza vaccines currently in use in China, as well as the two new influenza vaccines, in order to identify a seasonal influenza vaccine that is more effective for children aged three to five and to encourage children to receive it as a proactive measure against seasonal influenza.
