Half of US school children receive influenza vaccine. In our previous trials, school-located influenza vaccination (SLIV) raised vaccination rates by 5 to 8 percentage points. We assessed whether text message reminders to parents could raise vaccination rates above those observed with SLIV. Within urban elementary schools we randomized families into text message + SLIV (intervention) versus SLIV alone (comparison). All parents were sent 2 backpack notifications plus 2 autodialer phone reminders about SLIV at a single SLIV clinic. Intervention group parents also were sent 3 text messages from the school nurse encouraging flu vaccination via either primary care or SLIV. Among 15 768 children at 32 schools, vaccination rates were text + SLIV (40%) and SLIV control (40%); 4% of students per group received influenza vaccination at SLIV. Text message reminders did not raise influenza vaccination rates above those observed with SLIV alone. More intensive interventions are needed to raise influenza vaccination rates.
美国有一半的学童接种流感疫苗。在我们之前的试验中，学校流感疫苗接种（SLIV）使接种率提高了5至8个百分点。我们评估了向家长发送短信提醒是否能使接种率高于SLIV所观察到的水平。在城市小学中，我们将家庭随机分为短信+SLIV组（干预组）和仅SLIV组（对照组）。在单一的SLIV诊所，向所有家长发送了2次背包通知以及2次关于SLIV的自动拨号电话提醒。干预组的家长还收到了学校护士发送的3条短信，鼓励通过初级保健或SLIV进行流感疫苗接种。在32所学校的15768名儿童中，接种率为短信+SLIV组（40%）和SLIV对照组（40%）；每组4%的学生在SLIV时接种了流感疫苗。短信提醒并没有使流感疫苗接种率高于仅SLIV所观察到的水平。需要更密集的干预措施来提高流感疫苗接种率。
