Abstract
The incentives and flexibility offered by PACE have allowed our participants to enjoy much higher influenza immunization rates than experienced by other elderly adults while also prophylaxing employees and caregivers. Our systems have allowed us to prophylax all our participants within a short time during 2 influenza seasons. Nonetheless, many questions remain regarding the optimal way to decrease the burden of influenza in frail elderly adults. With adequate integration and supplementary financing, PACE programs throughout the United States could serve as laboratories to test candidate interventions.
