NCT ID NCT07164144
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether training school personnel in vaccine communication and providing promotional materials can increase flu vaccination rates among students. About 6,000 students from participating schools will be tracked. The goal is to see if these simple steps lead to more students getting vaccinated.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- Vaccine Communication Training
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, scalable way to increase flu vaccination rates in schools, reducing illness and absenteeism.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention, not a new vaccine. Results depend on school participation and may not generalize to all communities. The study is observational in nature.
