Abstract

The innovation of integrating medical treatment and prevention mechanisms is a key task deployed by the government, aiming to promote the construction of a Healthy China and address the prevalent "treatment over prevention" mindset in healthcare services and society. Vaccination is an effective strategy for preventing and controlling infectious diseases; however, adult vaccination rates in China remain low due to insufficient awareness and enthusiasm among the public and healthcare professionals. In recent years, various regions have begun to explore the model of physicians in medical institutions prescribing vaccines to improve vaccination rates. This article analyzes the positioning, current implementation status, and challenges of vaccine prescriptions, and proposes recommendations advocating policy formulation, improving service models and supporting measures, improving funding mechanisms, and strengthening publicity and education to promote the widespread implementation and effectiveness of vaccine prescriptions.

创新医防协同与融合机制是国家推进健康中国建设的重要举措,旨在解决医疗服务体系和社会面存在的“重治轻防”问题。疫苗接种是预防控制传染病的有效策略,然而我国成人疫苗接种率相对较低,公众和医务人员对疫苗的认知和接种积极性不足。近年来,各地逐步探索医疗机构医生开具疫苗处方的模式,以提升疫苗接种率。本文分析了疫苗处方的定位、实施现状及存在的问题,并提出了倡导政策制定、改善服务模式、完善配套措施、改善筹资机制及加强宣传教育等建议,以推动疫苗处方的广泛实施和效果提升。.
