This study will use the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) framework to address the problem of low COVID-19 and influenza vaccination rates among African American/Black and Latino persons. It will test the effects of four candidate intervention components:  a) nurse-led shared decision making, b) a text message intervention, c) modest lottery prizes for vaccination, and d) peer navigation to vaccination appointments.  The study will also uncover, describe, and plan for implementation issues so the optimized intervention can be rapidly scaled up by community-based and outpatient health organizations to boost COVID-19 and influenza vaccination rates annually.
