Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Central hypothesis: a multimodal approach is needed to enhance RSV vaccine uptake in pregnancy rather than the current standard of care that relies solely on physician recommendations at routine prenatal visits and/or mass messaging to the public. The investigators propose a pilot sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) to evaluate the effectiveness of a bundle of evidence-based and sequential strategies to test early (28-30 weeks gestation) and late (34-36 weeks gestation efficacy) to increase RSV vaccination during pregnancy.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for pregnant individuals between 28-36 weeks gestation. It's designed to test if multiple strategies can increase RSV vaccination rates during pregnancy compared to standard care.

Inclusion Criteria

No contraindications to the RSV vaccine: history of severe allergic reaction to any vaccine component or active moderate/severe acute illness with or without fever or receipt of RSV vaccine during the pregnancy
I am confirmed to be 28-30 weeks pregnant.

Exclusion Criteria

Those who do not have confirmed IUP at 28-30 weeks
Those with a contraindication to the RSV vaccine: history of severe allergic reaction to any vaccine component or active moderate/severe acute illness with or without fever or receipt of RSV vaccine during the pregnancy

  • Visual aid (Behavioral Intervention)
Trial OverviewThe study tests a bundle of strategies including MyChart nurse messages, an SMFM video, and visual aids at two different stages of pregnancy (early: 28-30 weeks, late: 34-36 weeks) to see which increases RSV vaccine uptake.
