School Influenza Vaccine vs Standard of Care With Nested Trial of 2 Parent Notification Intensities

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Immunizations, Vaccination, Influenza, School Health

In brief

Purpose of the study. The purpose of the project is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and cost effectiveness of providing influenza vaccine in schools to children in grades Kindergarten through 6th grade. Hypothesis 1: School based influenza vaccination (SIV) will increase the overall rate of influenza vaccination in school children. Hypothesis 2: Higher intensity parent notification about school based influenza vaccination does not increase immunization rates compared to low intensity. Hypothesis 3: School based vaccination from the perspective of mass vaccinators is cost neutral.
