Can a simple chat boost Kids' vaccines in the hospital?
NCT ID NCT07552857
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a training program called PIVOT-IN that teaches hospital doctors and nurses how to talk with families about childhood vaccines. The goal is to see if this training helps more kids get the vaccines they need while they are in the hospital. About 2,000 children and their clinicians at Seattle Children's Hospital will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PIVOT-IN vaccine communication training (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a proven way for hospital staff to increase childhood vaccination rates during hospital stays.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results depend on how well clinicians adopt the training. It is early-stage and limited to one hospital, so it may not apply elsewhere.
