The influenza vaccine is not included in China\'s national immunization program. Here, we assessed influenza vaccine coverage among Shanghai residents and estimated the impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic and a hypothetical free vaccine strategy on the willingness of participants to receive influenza vaccines. The coverage of influenza vaccines among Shanghai residents from 2015 to 2019 was 1.4% (range: 1%-2.4%). A total of 792 adult participants (aged 19-59 years) along with 821 children and 445 older individuals were included in the analysis. The willingness of participants to receive influenza vaccines reached 68.4% following the COVID-19 epidemic. Furthermore, if the vaccine was made available at no cost, 85.9% of participants were willing to be vaccinated. Our data indicated that influenza vaccine coverage is extremely low in Shanghai but that more than two-thirds of participants were willing to receive influenza vaccines following the COVID-19 epidemic. Making influenza vaccines available for free could further increase coverage.
