Patient Portal Reminders —Easy but Ineffective

The critical role of vaccinations in public health has perhaps never been more apparent. The novel coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has caused a health and humanitarian crisis unprecedented in the modern era. The scientific and medical communities are racing to develop a vaccine for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus. While this critical work is underway, it is worth noting that access to an efficacious vaccine is only part of the solution. Improving real-world outcomes also requires widespread adoption of safe and effective vaccines. In this issue of JAMA Internal Medicine, Szilagyi and colleagues expand our understanding of how patient portal reminders affect vaccination rates.
