Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
ptake of flu jab for over 65s; timepoint(s): between September 2010 and March 2011

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Duration from invite to uptake in days. Differences in attendance rates by condition, social class and their interaction will also be analysed, as well as the impacts on time delay to uptake. Given that SGV effects may only operate in those completing questionnaires, secondary analysis will examine differences in condition among those who returned completed questionnaires. Analysis will also examine the impact of questionnaire responses on attendance rates within conditions (e.g., is attendance higher among those with stronger intentions to attend).
