Reminder/Recalls

Studies have shown that one of the best methods to raise immunization rates is reminder/recalls for patients. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services offers postage paid reminder/recall cards at no cost. Pfizer in partnership with West Notifications offers reminder/recall programs at no cost as well.
