Sponsor's own description

This study will take place at health centres and their affiliated schools and community immunization centers overseen by the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) as well as at the Makerere/Mulago/Columbia Adolescent Health Clinic, also in Kampala. While text messages can be used in populations with low literacy, families can opt to receive automated phone call reminders instead. The investigators will pilot assess the impact of vaccine reminders on human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. Caregivers of preteens/adolescents will be randomized and stratified by site, language and HPV vaccine dose needed (initiation vs. completion). As this is a feasibility trial, the investigators expect to measure effect size but not necessarily achieve statistical significance.
