It is found that excess sun exposure, poor oral hygiene, smoking, and unhealthy diet choices correlated with reduced vaccination probability—both over the subsequent year and for that individual’s lifetime.

Attractive Flu Shot: A Behavioral Approach to Increasing Influenza Vaccination Uptake Rates
- MedicineMedical decision making : an international journal of the Society for Medical Decision Making

Introducing 2 options to get vaccinated against influenza (early or late) positively affects intentions to receive the flu shot, and this approach nudges participants to take the shot in early winter, a timing that has been shown to be more cost-effective.
The effect of postcard reminders on vaccinations among the elderly: a block-randomized experiment
- Medicine
- 2019
The statistically significant and substantively small increase in overall vaccination rates was driven by participants who received the postcard reminder early in the intervention period, and illustrates how researchers can study the causal impact of an intervention even when a pure parallel trial is not possible.

Financial incentives and other behavioral nudges do not meaningfully increase SARS-CoV-2 vaccination rates amongst the vaccine hesitant and negative messages decreased vaccination rates for some subgroups.

Sending information letters is an effective and easily scalable low-cost intervention strategy to increase vaccine uptake in an elderly population and communicating the social benefits of vaccination in addition to individual benefits does not enhance influenza vaccine uptake.

It appears that providing financial incentive to attend the gym regularly for a month serves as a catalyst to get some people past the threshold of actually getting started with an exercise regimen, particularly in the area of health.
