The goal of the study was to determine effectiveness of a telephone reminder to increase pneumococcal vaccination in a managed care population.
- Detailed Description
Patients randomized to the intervention arm received a telephone call from managed care nurses asking about their pneumococcal vaccination status and whether they would like to be vaccinated.
