Participant milestones
Measure
Usual Care
Participants follow the usual practices for scheduling their follow up visit(s) for vaccination at the clinic. Participants will receive the standard reminder from the clinic for their scheduled appointment(s) (phone call, letter, etc, as appropriate).
SMS Text Message
Participants in both Usual Care group and the SMS Text Message group will receive the standard reminder from the clinic for their scheduled appointment(s) (phone call, letter, etc, as appropriate). Women in the SMS Text Message group that reschedule a vaccination visit will receive text message reminders one per day for each of the seven days prior to the rescheduled visit. SMS Text Message: Women in the SMS Text Message group that reschedule a vaccination visit will receive text message reminders one per day for each of the seven days prior to the rescheduled visit (or as many days as possible depending on when the rescheduled visit will take place - for example, if they call in and reschedule the visit to take place in 4 days, they will receive text messages for the 3 days prior to the rescheduled visit). Participants in both the Usual Care group and the SMS Text Message group will receive the standard reminder from the clinic for their re-scheduled appointment(s) (phone call,
