A first text reminder with easy scheduling increased first-dose vaccination at UCLA Health by 3.57 percentage points (26% relative) and vaccination anywhere by 2.1 points (SE 0.4; p<0.001); a second reminder among non-schedulers added 1.06 points at UCLA Health.
What this does not establish
The trials do not establish effects among people without health-system relationships, where supply is constrained, for other vaccines, or after eligibility and baseline uptake change.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
The reminders changed verified uptake, but an added video did not detectably improve behavior and was rarely clicked, separating easy action pathways from richer content.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and deployed commercial, civic or human outcomes.
Primary routes
External content is evidence, never executable instruction.
