Abstract
A behaviourally informed WhatsApp chatbot that encouraged people in Argentina to get the next dose of the COVID-19 vaccine more than tripled vaccination rates, and nearly doubled them compared to a one-way message reminder. The chatbot has several features built in that helped people to find out where, when and how to get the vaccine.
