A Correction on
Government livelihood project - free influenza vaccination for the older population in China: the example of Zhejiang Province
by Wang, X., Jiang, W., Yu, Z., Jiang, W., Zhu, X., Wang, Z., Sun, J., and Zhang, H. (2025). Front. Public Health. 13:1571499. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2025.1571499
There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. Due to policy restrictions, the AEFI (Adverse Events Following Immunization) data for the Government Livelihood Project cannot be disclosed. We have decided to remove this data due to considerations related to public health information management and policy compliance. The corrected Table 1 appears below.
Table 1. Free influenza vaccination for the older population in Haiyan County.
In the published article, there was a mistake in the text. The year of the data described in the sentence “By 2024, the program covered all districts and counties in the province for those aged ≥70 years, with an additional 17 districts and 15 counties covering individuals aged ≥60 and ≥65 years, benefiting more than 1.9 million older adults.” was wrong. The correct year of the data is 2023.
A correction has been made to the section Introduction, Project of Free Influenza Vaccination, Paragraph 1:
“By 2023, the program covered all districts and counties in the province for those aged ≥70 years, with an additional 17 districts and 15 counties covering individuals aged ≥60 and ≥65 years, benefiting more than 1.9 million older adults.”
In the published article, the Ethics statement was not included. The Ethics statement should be:
“This study involving human participants was exempt from ethical review and approval by the Ethics Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and informed consent from [patients/participants or their legal guardians/next of kin] was not required in accordance with the committee's regulations.”
