PROmotion of FLU Vaccine Uptake in the Emergency Department - PROFLUVAXED

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Influenza Vaccination

In brief

The goal of this research is to increase influenza vaccine acceptance and uptake in vulnerable populations whose primary (and often only) health care access occurs in emergency departments (ED Usual Source of Care Patients). Toward this goal, the investigators will conduct one on one interviews and focus groups with ED Usual Source of Care Patients and community partners and produce trusted messaging informational platforms (PROmotion of FLU VA(X)ccination in the Emergency Department - PROFLUVAXED) that will address barriers to flu vaccination, especially vaccine hesitancy. The investigators will then conduct a cluster-randomized, controlled trial of PROFLUVAXED platforms in six EDs to determine whether their implementation is associated with greater flu vaccine acceptance and uptake in ED Usual Source of Care Patients.
