Summary

This study tests whether sending a friendly letter from a pharmacist can motivate more adults to get their flu or travel vaccines. About 20,000 people in Alberta who visited a Mint Pharmacy will receive one of two types of letters: one highlighting flu and heart health benefits, another focusing on travel protection. Researchers will then check how many get vaccinated and whether fewer strokes occur in the six months after vaccination.
