Background: This paper presents the results of systematic reviews of the effectiveness, applicability, other effects, economic impact, and barriers to use of selected population-based interventions intended to improve vaccination coverage. The related systematic reviews are linked by a common conceptual approach. These reviews form the basis for recommendations by the Task Force on Community Preventive Services (the Task Force) regarding the use of these selected interventions. The Task Force recommendations are presented on pp. 92-96 of this issue.

Introduction V accine-preventable diseases among children, adolescents, and adults represent major continuing causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States. During the latter half of the twentieth century, the success of childhood vaccination programs in the United States has led to a Ͼ95 % decline in most vaccine-preventable diseases of childhood. However, Ͼ400,000 cases of illness and Ͼ30,000 deaths caused by vaccine-preventable diseases still occur each year 1 (CDC unpublished data).Diphtheria, invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease, measles, poliomyelitis, rubella, tetanus, mumps, varicella, and pertussis are typically referred to as vaccine-preventable diseases of childhood. Vaccinations primarily indicated for adults include influenza, pneumococcal, and hepatitis B. However, during the 1990s, the distinction between childhood and adult vaccine-preventable diseases became less clear. Many childhood vaccine-preventable infections, including measles and pertussis, are found increasingly among adults, 2,3 and hepatitis B vaccinations are now routinely recommended for infants and adolescents. Table 1 outlines universally recommended (i.e., vaccinations recommended for most or all persons in certain age groups) vaccinations for children, adolescents, and older adults.In children, Ͼ50,000 cases of varicella occur each year, making that disease the most common vaccinepreventable disease among children 4 ; in adults, influenza, pneumococcal disease, and hepatitis B are all still common vaccine-preventable diseases, with hundreds of thousands of cases occurring each year.5 Mortality attributable to vaccine-preventable diseases is still substantial. Each year, approximately 500 persons in the United States die of childhood vaccine-preventable diseases, and Ͼ30,000 adults die of influenza, pneumococcal infections, and hepatitis B.1 Influenza, which accounts for an average of 20,000 deaths/year, is usually the largest killer. 5The effectiveness of universally recommended vaccinations in preventing disease for adults, adolescents, and children is well-established. 6 -14 In addition to protecting individuals from diseases passed from person to person contact, vaccinat...

“…Provider based interventions have shown promise in other settings: a review of evidence by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) on improving vaccine uptake found that education and training of health care professionals is effective in increasing targeted BCG vaccination in the UK [36][37][38][39] and that providing reminders to provider clinics is effective in increasing uptake in routine vaccination of infants in the USA [40] and BCG in high risk groups in the UK [41]. The UK study on BCG in high risk groups [39] found that computerized automated reminders to staff increased vaccination from 19.3% in 1990 (95% CI: 13.4-25.2%) to 77.5% in 1993 (95% CI: 73.6-81.3%).…”

“…19 In addition, literature supports the use of reminders for multidose vaccines to increase infant immunization rates since 1984. 20 It was also well documented, in a systematic review of studies regarding HPV, that parents had a higher vaccine acceptance when it was recommended by their physician, when perceived ability to contract the infection was high and when they believed its efficacy. 21 As of today, no study has evaluated methods to increase HPV vaccination rates in adult women between 18 and 45 years.…”

Context: Human papillomavirus coverage varies widely among women depending on their race, incomes, geographical location and education level. Objective: To evaluate whether reminder educative phone calls increase human papillomavirus vaccination rates in adult women aged 18–45 with high-risk factors of cervical cancer. Design: We conducted a single-blind randomized controlled trial in patients who consulted at a Canadian tertiary center in October 2019 during National Cervical Cancer Awareness Week. Interventions: We randomized women to receive three standardized educative phone calls or standard care. Main outcome measure: We assessed the immunization rate at 6 months. Results: A total of 130 patients were randomized of which 62 patients were randomized to the intervention. Eight patients (15.4%) got immunized at 6 months in the intervention group as compared to seven (11.7%) in the control group (p = 0.5645). The main barrier to vaccination reported by non-immunized patients at 6 months was the cost of vaccination (42.3%). Conclusion: Reminder educative phone calls did not increase human papillomavirus vaccination rates in adult women with risk factors of cervical cancer. ISRCTN registration number: ISRCTN58518971
