Summary
This study tested whether sending text message reminders to parents could increase routine vaccination rates in children aged 0-2 years. Over 1,000 families in Brooklyn, New York, whose children were behind on vaccines received texts when shots were due or coming due. The goal was to help kids get back on schedule after COVID-19 lockdowns disrupted well-child visits.
