Commentaries:
Text-message ‘nudges’ can encourage holdouts to get COVID vaccination, study finds – UCLA
Text reminders boost vaccine appointments – Carnegie Mellon University
Commentary on Twitter
Sometimes the tools that actually work in public health are profoundly boring. Here, a text message reminder system is shown in a randomized trial to increase vaccine uptake. Years of HIV adherence research has shown the value of simple nudges like this.https://t.co/1ndpnQ6Ha6 https://t.co/Gltll8DTJ4
