Summary:
- The study found that electronic nudges, such as text message reminders, to encourage older adults to get the flu shot may have unintended consequences and lower their likelihood of getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
- Older adults who received electronic nudges for the flu shot were less likely to get the COVID-19 vaccine compared to those who did not receive the nudges.
- The researchers suggest that electronic nudges may lead to "nudge fatigue" and reduce older adults' motivation to get the COVID-19 vaccine, highlighting the importance of tailoring public health interventions to different age groups.
