title: Targeted mailing of information to improve uptake of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine: a randomised controlled trial.
abstract: Uptake of the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine in the United Kingdom has declined to levels that will allow outbreaks of these preventable diseases to occur. A leaflet sent with a personalized reminder did not increase vaccine uptake in children who had not been immunised at 21 months of age.
