*Published: 2026 Apr 15*
## CONCLUSION
Overall, extended opportunities, appointment scheduling help,
financial incentives, payments to cover costs, and motivational interviewing
were effective content components of interventions to increase vaccine uptake.
Effective delivery components overall were human interaction and delivery by
community members alongside healthcare professionals. However, effective
components varied by age group, for underserved populations, and in analyses
investigating the impact of the covid-19 pandemic. These findings have important
implications for designing, optimising, and implementing targeted interventions,
highlighting which components are effective across different populations and
contexts. Consideration of the economic data on interventions should further
support resource informed decision making.
