Best practices for sending vaccine reminders
Don't overload your patients
You should only be sending a few messages to your patients. Sending more than a couple will frustrate your contacts, making them more likely to report you as spam. It would be beneficial to send them a reminder to schedule their vaccine appointment, a confirmation text when they first make their appointment, and then an appointment reminder.
Be transparent
Be clear and transparent about who is sending the text message, why it's being sent, and how the recipient can opt out of receiving future messages. This can help to build trust and ensure that people feel comfortable receiving reminders from your organization.
Personalize the message
Personalized messages can help to increase engagement and make the message feel more relevant to the recipient. Consider including the recipient's name, your organization's name, their appointment time and location, and any other relevant information in the text message.
Respect the recipient's time
When encouraging your contacts to get a flu shot, be considerate of your contact's time and attention by sending vaccine reminders at appropriate times, such as during regular business hours.
Measure and analyze
Track and measure the results of your text message reminders and use this data to improve future campaigns. This can include analyzing open and response rates and any feedback received from recipients.
