Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

As the Covid-19 pandemic hit New York City in the spring of 2020, many families were home-bound due to the city-wide lockdown. As a result, families in New York City were unable to attend their child's healthcare appointments and many young children did not receive their regularly-scheduled vaccinations. Parts of the city-wide lockdown did eventually lift in the summer of 2020 as positive Covid-19 virus rates declined in NYC. However, regularly scheduled vaccination rates (non-Covid-related) remain low. Yet, it is critical that young children receive their mandatory vaccines in a timely manner to decrease the chance of contracting preventable illnesses. Thus, the investigators seek to increase vaccination rates among children ages 0-2 years in Sunset Park Brooklyn.
