Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Preparedness: The availability of students for a possible vaccination is objectively measured through the number of pupils who bring their vaccination card to school and can get vaccinated if necessary, directly after the educational intervention (high-intensity involvement condition, low-intensity involvement condition) when pupils visit the Prevention Bus. The primary outcome will be weighted by the number of pupils who are eligible to take part in the study	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. The number of pupils, that get vaccinated directly after the educational intervention (high-intensity involvement condition, low-intensity involvement condition) when pupils visit the Prevention Bus. The secondary outcome will be weighted by the number of pupils who are eligible to take part in the study 2. Health literacy is measured using five items of the HLS-EU Q47 questionnaire addressing prevention and immunization treatment (educational class condition, low intensity information condition) before students visit the bus while they are still in their classroom 3. Health knowledge is measured with six previously developed immunization knowledge items, which psychometric properties were tested in the pilot study after treatment (educational class condition, low intensity information condition) but before students visit the bus while they are still in their classroom 4. Perception of susceptibility to infectious diseases, measured using a risk scale after the educational unit, when students are still in their classroom, but before they enter the bus	—
