Behaviorally Informed Strategies for a National COVID-19 Vaccine Promotion Program

Viewpoint proposes 5 strategies, informed by insights from behavioural science, for a national COVID-19 vaccine promotion program in US. These strategies are proposed with the recognition that many uncertainties remain.

SPS commentary:

Proposed strategies are:

  • make the vaccine free and easily accessible
  • make access to valued settings conditional on getting vaccinated
  • use public endorsements from trusted leaders to increase uptake
  • provide priority access to people who sign up to get vaccinated before vaccines are widely available
  • transform individual vaccination decisions into a public act
