Targeted Vaccinations: Community-Wide Education

Task Force Finding*

Community-wide education interventions provide information to most or all of a target population in a geographic area. Educational messages can be delivered by various methods such as mail, radio, television, newspapers, or posters.

The Task Force finds insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of community-wide education when implemented alone in improving influenza, pneumococcal polysaccharide, or hepatitis B vaccination coverage among high-risk adults because no studies were identified.

Task Force for Community Preventive Services. Recommendations to improve targeted vaccination coverage among high-risk adults. Adobe PDF File [PDF - 97KB] Am J Prev Med 2005:28(5S);231-7.
