摘　　要：肺炎球菌性疾病是全球严重的公共卫生问题之一,也是导致我国老年人发病和死亡的重要原因。本文强调了老年人肺炎球菌性疾病负担十分沉重,阐述了用于老年人的肺炎球菌疫苗是安全有效的。同时指出,我国在老年人肺炎球菌性疾病防治和免疫预防研究领域仍缺乏有力的循证依据,建议我国亟待重视和加强老年人肺炎球菌疾病的免疫预防工作。Pneumococcal disease is one of serious global public health problems and a major cause of morbidity and mortality among elderly people in China. In the study, the heavy disease burden attributed to the prevalence of pneumococcal disease and the safety/efficacy of pneumococcal vaccines for preventing the disease in elderly populations were summarized briefly;and the lack of evidence-based researches on immunoprophylaxis for pneumococcal disease prevention among Chinese elderly populations was also addressed. It is suggested that the immunoprophylaxis for pneumococcal disease prevention in elderly people needs to be stressed and promoted in China.
