The average vaccination rate of students in primary,middle and high school were respectively 80.86%, 47.09%, 43.88% with a statistically significant difference( χ 2=610.36，2 113.30，6 720.88，12 886.79, P <0.05). The average vaccination rate of students in west area, middle area and east area, showing an increasing trend, were respectively 81.88%, 70.01%, 56.63% with a statistically significant difference( χ 2=3 679.19， P <0.05). In sum, there were significant differences in vaccination rate for both different years and areas( χ 2=570.25, 987.18, 99.60, 1 111.99, P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#The annual vaccination rate of influenza vaccine in primary and secondary schools in Shijingshan District from 2019 to 2023 has met the requirements for effective vaccination rates, but it should be recognized that not all schools and their students form the immune barrier.
