This study explores the effectiveness of health communication campaigns and campus-based interventions to promote vaccinations among college-aged students, focusing on human papillomavirus (HPV) immunization.
Leveraging previous initiatives, Purdue University implemented various campaign strategies and collaborated with the Indiana Immunization Coalition to administer vaccines ( = 1,827) across two clinics in late 2022.
Qualtrics surveys ( = 564) were administered to individuals post-vaccination(s).
The provision of vaccines without financial burden and informed awareness facilitated HPV vaccine uptake, whereas perceived lack of time and necessity served as barriers. Email outreach and visually appealing posters proved effective in disseminating clinic information.
The increase in HPV vaccine recipients and a reduction in perceived vaccine ineligibility highlight the efficacy of printed posters in enhancing knowledge and awareness. By providing cost-free vaccines on campuses, this model demonstrates its potential to elevate vaccination rates, and can be adapted for broader community contexts.
本研究探讨健康宣传活动和校园干预措施在促进大学生接种疫苗方面的有效性，重点关注人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）免疫接种。
利用先前的举措，普渡大学实施了各种宣传策略，并与印第安纳州免疫联盟合作，于2022年末在两家诊所为1827人接种了疫苗。
在接种疫苗后，对564人进行了Qualtrics调查。
免费提供疫苗和提高知晓度促进了HPV疫苗的接种，而感觉缺乏时间和必要性则成为障碍。电子邮件宣传和视觉上吸引人的海报在传播诊所信息方面被证明是有效的。
HPV疫苗接种者的增加以及感觉自己不符合接种条件的人数减少，凸显了印刷海报在提高知识和意识方面的功效。通过在校园内提供免费疫苗，该模式显示出提高疫苗接种率的潜力，并且可以适用于更广泛的社区环境。
