Can earning points for shots boost community vaccination?
NCT ID NCT06890559
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a digital platform that rewards people with points for getting vaccinated can increase uptake of vaccines not covered by China's national program, such as HPV, flu, and pneumonia vaccines. About 5,120 residents in certain districts will either receive the points-based incentive or standard activities. Points are earned per family member and can be redeemed for gifts or services. The goal is to see if this approach raises vaccination rates and encourages other preventive behaviors like cancer screenings.
