Summary

This study tests whether a community-based communication program can increase flu vaccination rates among people over 65 in Can Tho City, Vietnam. The program includes direct counseling, weekly health tips via the Zalo app, and printed leaflets. Researchers will compare vaccination rates between groups that get the program and those that don't over 12 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Multi-component Health Communication Package (counseling, Zalo messages, leaflets)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show a simple way to get more elderly people vaccinated against the flu, reducing illness and hospital visits.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a medical treatment. Success depends on people actually getting the vaccine, and results may not apply outside Vietnam.
