Effects of Prompt to Bundle COVID-19 Booster and Flu Shot

Patients will receive a text message reminding them to enhance their protection against COVID-19 by getting the bivalent booster. The message will contain one link to schedule an appointment at UCLA Health and one link for scheduling an appointment at CVS Pharmacy.

This message will also encourage patients to protect themselves against the flu by asking for their flu vaccine at the booster appointment (at UCLA Health) or adding the flu vaccine to the COVID-19 vaccine booster appointment (at CVS).

This message will simultaneously encourage patients to enhance their protection against COVID-19 and the flu and will inform them that, to save time, they can bundle two vaccines at once. Patients will learn that at UCLA Health, they can book an appointment for the booster and then ask for the flu vaccine at their appointment; at CVS Pharmacy, they can book one appointment to get both the bivalent COVID-19 booster and the flu vaccine.
