Brief summary
Supported be a digital vaccine registry the investigators will test the impact of automated appointment reminders, real time appointment reminders, motivational interviewing and targeted vaccine on routine childhood vaccine completion rates.
Detailed description
Bundling three high-impact mHealth interventions (a digital vaccine registry (supply side), a reminder system (demand side), and targeted vaccine drive (demand and supply-side) will be feasible, acceptable, carried out with fidelity, and result in a 10% improvement in vaccine completion rates compared to the year prior to implementation.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALAppointment reminders, motivational interviewing and targeted vaccine drives
Automated and real time phone call reminders, motivational interviewing and targeted vaccine drives applied in sequence

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DPT3 vaccine completion rate | 15 Months | The proportion of enrolled subjects who complete the Diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus vaccine (DPT3) vaccine series when assessed at 15 months of age. |
| Measles vaccine completion rate | 15 Months | The proportion of enrolled subjects who complete the measles vaccine series when assessed at 15 months of age. |
| Number of eligible subjects enrolled | 15 Months | Vaccine clinic records will be reviewed to identify the total number of eligible patients in the clinic (defined as those presenting to the vaccine clinic with a child receiving their first vaccine) and the number who agreed to participate during the study period. |
| Provider Adoption | 15 Months | A modified intervention acceptability, perception and system usability assessment using a Likert scale questionnaire. |
| Protocol Adherence | 15 Months | The proportion of eligible subjects who received a real-time phone call reminder, counselling, and targeted vaccine drive when indicated |
| Project Cost | 15 Months | The cost of administering each component of the mHealth bundle will be documented, such as cost of targeted drive and cost of real time phone calls. This will assist in determining the cost to scale the project. |
