ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on finding better ways to encourage people to get vaccinated, especially those who might be hesitant or refuse vaccines. The researchers want to create a system that helps both patients and healthcare providers make informed decisions about vaccinations. By using this system, they hope to see an increase in the number of people who choose to get vaccinated.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should have an upcoming appointment at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Hughes Spalding Primary Care Clinic within the next two days and must have a valid mobile phone number or email address on file. Initially, the trial will focus on individuals who are due for a COVID-19 vaccine, and later it will include those due for any vaccines recommended by health guidelines. If you participate, you can expect to receive helpful information about vaccines before your appointment, making it easier to make a decision about getting vaccinated. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to improve vaccination rates and help protect the community.
