Summary

This study tests whether community health workers can help adults with chronic illnesses get up-to-date on COVID-19 and flu vaccines. Participants receive up to three counseling sessions in English or Spanish to address their vaccine concerns. The goal is to reduce health disparities and increase vaccination rates in underserved communities.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: 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: This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results depend on participant engagement and may not apply broadly. The study is still recruiting and outcomes are based on self-report and records.
