Summary

This study tests whether training primary care providers on how to talk to patients about vaccines can increase flu and COVID-19 vaccination rates. Over 24,500 patients and their doctors at multiple clinics will take part. Doctors in some clinics will receive special communication training, while others will not. Researchers will then compare vaccination rates between the two groups.
