Factors Affecting and Strategies Enhancing the Willingness to Receive and Uptake of Seasonal Influenza Vaccination

Dear Colleagues,

Seasonal influenza vaccination (SIV) can be helpful in reducing influenza outbreaks. The reasons that affect the willingness to receive SIV and the strategies to enhance this willingness are essential to public health. This Special Issue will compile original research reports and reviews on this topic. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) the levels and determinants of willingness to receive SIV, (2) strategies to enhance willingness and uptake, (3) facilitators and barriers to implementing SIV programs, and (4) the evaluation of SIV programs or interventions.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Paul Shing-fong Chan
Guest Editor
