Evaluation of a Text Message–Based COVID-19 Vaccine Outreach Program Among Older Patients: Cross-sectional Study

Abstract

This study provides insights into some advantages and challenges of using a text messaging vaccine outreach for patients aged 65 years and older. Lessons learned from this vaccine campaign underscore the importance of using multiple outreach methods and sharing of patient vaccination status between health systems, along with a patient-centered approach to address vaccine hesitancy and access issues.
