ABSTRACT
This paper focuses on key issues of the organizational model of the influenza vaccination campaign in Lazio region, Italy, started during the 1999-2000 season. The following crucial features of the model are emphasized a strong support given by Regional Health Agency; a high level of commitment of local health authorities; a considerable involvement of general practitioners; the appropriation of economical incentives related to different levels of coverage; an "ad hoc " information system. The model resulted in a remarkable increase of the number of vaccinations among elderly population (from about 420,000 in the 2000-2001 vaccination campaign to about 560,000 in the successive campaign) and of the correspondent levels of coverage (from 45.7% in the 2000-2001 vaccination campaign to 59.2% in the successive campaign). Nevertheless, further efforts should be provided to better identify population at risk, and to reach the most disadvantaged groups. Moreover, actions are to be performed to assess health and economic benefits of vaccination campaign, in order to improve the efficiency of health care planning programs.
