This policy brief draws on a comprehensive literature review and expert insights to examine key policy gaps and the social, cultural, and economic barriers limiting immunisation among older adults in the Asia Pacific, with a focus on Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
It identifies four priority areas for intervention—education, persuasion, incentivisation, and enablement—to strengthen vaccine delivery, engagement, and confidence. Recommendations are presented across three levels: individuals, communities, and healthcare systems, to support improved vaccine uptake among older adults in the region.
