Summary

Effective interventions to improve uptake of vaccines among hesitant groups are urgently needed. Peer education is an effective intervention in modifying health behaviors in other conditions and may be effective in promoting vaccine confidence but has not been studied. To fill this knowledge gap, we will enroll approximately 152 parents of children age 0-18 months who are eligible for pneumococcal conjugate (PCV-13) vaccine and randomize them 1:1 to a peer-led vaccine education intervention or usual care.

Conditions

• Vaccine Acceptance

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Peer-led vaccine education intervention	The intervention will be delivered face-to-face by a trained peer-educator and will consist of one session of 10-20 minutes. Peer vaccine educators will receive written vaccine materials for distribution. These materials will present content that accurately represents the risks and benefits of vaccination. Responsibilities of the vaccine educators will be to: provide motivational interviewing with patients, provide vaccine counseling, address questions and concerns regarding available vaccines, brief clinical provider on hesitant patients and areas of their vaccine-related concerns, and provide follow-up with participants at day 30, day 60 and day 90 for additional engagement.
