Summary

This study tests whether community health workers can help adults with chronic illnesses get up-to-date on COVID-19 and flu vaccines.

The goal is to reduce health disparities and increase vaccination rates in underserved communities.

Community health worker intervention (psychoeducational sessions and motivational interviewing)

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could increase vaccination rates among vulnerable populations, reducing severe illness and hospitalizations.

What could go wrong
