Overview
Brief Summary
This study will assess the impact of automated reminders for the 6 month and 12 month vaccine visits to increase vaccination in parents experiencing logistic barriers to vaccination.
Detailed Description
Parents of children less than 11 months of age will be identified as delayed or missing vaccinations due to logistic barriers in the Kaiser Permanente Colorado population. Parents identified will be randomized to the intervention arm or the usual care arm. Those in the intervention arm will receive automated reminders for the 6 month and 12 month vaccine visits. Reminders will include scheduling information as well as access to a website with vaccine and scheduling information. They will also have an opportunity to provide preferences in how they receive the automated reminders (text, phone or email). There will be 2 reminders before the 6 and 12 month visits and 2 after the 6 and 12 month visits. Parents will be excluded from receiving reminders if they have received vaccines within the time frame when they are eligible to receive another vaccine or have a well child visit scheduled.
