A simple text message may be able to provide the nudge some people need to get vaccinated, researchers say

.

The research team crowdsourced ideas from experts around the world and decided on 19 different text message"nudges" about getting the flu vaccine. They sent these texts to 47,306 people before primary care visits at two large health systems. Their findings, published in May in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed the texts boosted flu vaccination rates by an average of about 5%.

Sending a text message can cost less than a dime -- a stark contrast to the million-dollar lotteries some states are using to incentivize people to get vaccinated. Milkman said she is now working with a team to research the role of incentives in encouraging people to take the Covid-19 vaccine, like those who are hesitant because they are worried about losing wages when they take time off of work to get vaccinated.

How about publishing the cost of 1 dose of vaccine (2 shots) and what average hospital stay cost is for 'average' Covid stay with ventilator? Then indicate the timeframe for when the fed's and insurance companies will end the 'freebie' costs. No vaccine, no insurance coverage.
