PROmotion of COvid-19 VA(X)ccination in the Emergency Department
A multisite, NIH-funded study with the goal of increasing COVID-19 and influenza vaccine uptake in vulnerable populations whose health care access primarily occurs in emergency departments.

About Our Study 

The goal of this study is to increase COVID-19 and influenza vaccine acceptance and uptake in vulnerable populations whose primary and often only health care access occurs in emergency departments (ED Usual Source of Care Patients). Toward this goal, we will conduct 1-on-1 interviews and focus groups with ED patients and community partners, and produce trusted messaging informational platforms that will address barriers to COVID-19 and influenza vaccination. We will then conduct a cluster-randomized, controlled trial of PROCOVAXED platforms in six EDs to determine whether their implementation is associated with greater COVID-19 and influenza vaccine acceptance and uptake in ED Usual Source of Care Patients.
