Abstract
Reminder letters and follow-up telephone calls were used to increase influenza vaccination acceptance by 273 well elderly registered at an urban community health centre. The net effect of the reminder letters was to increase overall coverage to 43%, from 17% in the previous year. Follow-up telephone calls to patients who had not responded to the letters increased coverage to only 55%. Calculation of costs per additional vaccination given revealed that the use of reminder letters alone was much more cost-effective than follow-up telephone calls in increasing coverage. However, with the current fee-for-service reimbursement by medical care insurance in Ontario, neither means of improving vaccination coverage would result in net practice earnings. The implications for an effective and efficient annual influenza program in Canada are discussed.
