Hello, i've shared with you every day
Halfway through 2026, the new deal for free vaccination for the elderly, which covers four types of vaccines, is available for all over 55 years of age, is free of charge at 60 years of age and over 65 years of age, and several hundred thousand dollars per needle, all of which is the real health benefits of the state. Many people do not yet know that it is necessary for the elderly to pay for their own vaccines, but now many places, such as jiangsu, shanghai, zhejiang, guangdong and sichuan, have already incorporated old-age vaccines into the lives of the population and can do so at no cost. Today, the latest policy of 2026, the type of free vaccine, the age threshold, the place of vaccination and the attention, will be given in one-time, and over 55 years of age will be checked directly against themselves, so as not to miss the free benefits
First, in 2026, the main focus of the elderly's free vaccine was 23-priced pneumonia vaccine, influenza vaccine, herpes vaccine and new coronary booster needles; from 55 years of age, the coverage was extended to 60 years of age and above, with the highest level of free coverage for 65-85 years of age; and permanent residence + health insurance was key and could be implemented with an identity card。
I. 23-cost pneumonia vaccine (free main force, all over 65)
It was the most widely and highly accessible and free vaccine in 2026, dedicated to the prevention of pneumonia, meningitis and septicaemia caused by pneumococococcal bacteria, and protected for five years by a syringe。
- age threshold: the country's mainstream 65-85 year olds are free of charge (jangsu, shanghai, zhejiang, guangdong, etc.); parts of the country are free of charge over 60 years of age; basic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and heart disease are exempted from 55-59 years of age。
- market price: 200-300 yuan/minus, free of charge, with no charge。
- vaccination alerts: one shot in a lifetime and no more before; a chronic disease control is stable and safe。
- the policy is based on the fact that, since april 2026, jiangsu and nosei have been incorporated into the life of the people, and permanent residents aged 65-85 have been vaccinated free of charge。
Ii. Influenza vaccine (annual demand only, free of charge over 60)
The high incidence of influenza in the fall and winter each year and the vulnerability of older persons to pneumonia, myocarditis and even life-threatening infections is an annual “life shot”。
- age threshold: free of charge throughout the country (zhejiang, shanghai, guangdong, fujian, etc.) over 60 years of age; half-price relief for 55-59 years of age。
- market price: 60-150 yuan per needle, with a direct saving after free。
- vaccination alerts: 1 dose per year from september to november, the influenza virus varies from year to year, and last year it became ineffective; there is a limited number of free places to make appointments at community hospitals。
Iii. Vegetable herpes vaccine (reduction from age 50, free of charge in some municipalities)
Herpes, commonly known as “twirl” , hurts like knives, burns, and is called “cancer undead”, with a high incidence over 50 years of age, and vaccination is the most effective means of prevention。
Age threshold: 50 years of age and above (one shot free of charge in pilot cities such as sichuan suenening); the most severe relief for 55 years of age and over, with some savings of about $1,000。
- market price: about $1,500 for imported needles and about $1,000 for domestic production。
- vaccination alerts: the sooner the 50-year-old can be beaten, the better, with herpes; now, there are many pilot exemptions throughout the country, which will be gradually extended free of charge。
Iv. New crown vaccine (enhanced needle, free of charge over 55)
The new coronary virus is still mutation, the elderly are less immune and enhanced needles are effective in reducing the risk of serious illness and death and will continue to be vaccinated free of charge in 2026。
- age threshold: free booster injections over 65 years of age; free basic diseases between 55 and 64 years of age; half-price relief for non-basic diseases。
- vaccination alert: 6 months from the first dose, free of charge at community hospitals and health centres。
V. Conditions for free vaccination + processing (self-checking over 55)
1. The age requirement is based on the date of birth of the identity card, with a reduction from 55 years of age, a free extension from 60 years of age and above, and the greatest amount from 65 to 85 years of age。
2. Registration requirements: local permanent residents are given priority and residence permits are also available free of charge (some municipalities)。
3. Health requirements: no history of allergy, no acute fever and stable chronic disease control。
4. Process: carrying identity cards, social security cards directly to community health centres or township health centres, registration of health assessment signatures for 30 minutes, free of charge for the entire journey, free of appointment and cost。
Vi. Common questions
- 55 or less. Can i call you free? It is not entirely free, but basic diseases (pneumonia, flu, crowns) are available at age 55-59 and herpes at age 50。
- can foreign accounts be called。
- you've done it at your own expense. No, the free policy only targets older persons who have not been vaccinated and who have previously been paid for their own money。
