Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary outcomes are reasons for non-vaccination and determinants of vaccination behavior as well as uptake rates of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination. These outcomes are measured by a representative telephone survey in Thuringia and other federal countries, as well as the assessment of vaccination rates using routine data by the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Thüringen during and after the first and second wave of the intervention (autumn and winter 2017/2018 and 2018/2019).
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary outcomes are the reduction of influenza, pneumonia, pneumococcal bacteremia and sepsis incidence in the target group. As a tertiary outcome the reduction of the economic burden of influenza, pneumonia and sepsis for the healthcare system will be assessed. Secondary and tertiary outcomes are assessed after the intervention using different data sources such as the nationwide DRG statistics by the Federal Statistics Office, the Alertsnet Registry for bloodstream infection in Thuringia, claims data of a major social health insurance (AOK PLUS) and data of the Multidisciplinary Quality Assurance in the Health Care System (SQG data).
