Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether contacting the parents of adolescents overdue for routine vaccines or contacting both the parents AND adolescents overdue to routine vaccines improves immunization rates as compared to usual care.

Conditions

  • Immunization
  • Reminder Systems

Interventions

OTHER

Parent Only Phone Call

A telephone call will be made to the parent/guardian informing them that the adolescent has not received one or more vaccines (Td/Tdap in the past 5 years, the MCV4 vaccine, or the 2nd VZV vaccine). The phone call will include a brief informational statement about the vaccine(s) that the adolescent has not yet received. Up to 4 telephone calls will be attempted. As part of the phone call, we will offer to schedule an appointment for the adolescent to receive the missing immunization(s). We will also ask them to mail or fax to the Adolescent/Young Adult Medicine clinic records of immunizations given at other sites.

We will also ask them to mail or fax to the Adolescent/Young Adult Medicine clinic records of immunizations given at other sites. We will also ask permission to speak with the adolescent as well, and if granted, will make up to 4 phone calls to the adolescent to convey the same message.
