Life-course immunisation is one of the most cost-effective public health interventions, which helps to keep populations healthy and productive by mitigating health complications, no matter how old they are. While there are clear health and economic benefits, the vaccine uptake rates among the elderly in Southeast Asia remain far below the 75% target set by the World Health Organization. Challenges remain to implement a successful elderly immunisation programme, including political will, reimbursement and access.
