Daycare flu shots could boost child vaccination rates
NCT ID NCT07310472
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to see if offering children a nasal influenza vaccine at their daycare increases how many get vaccinated, compared to only offering it at a healthcare facility. About 6,000 children in Turku daycare centers will take part. The main question is whether convenience leads to higher vaccination coverage.
