Randomization Stratification and randomisation (via random number generation) occurred via inbuilt code. Blinding not detected. Power Analysis Sample size was calculated via an a priori power analysis (95% power, alpha=.05, effect size f2=0.02) for a separate concurrent study run that contained more predictors (N=9), and therefore required more power (see study pre-registration).

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations of the study include the measurement of intention, but not uptake. While intention has been found to predict vaccination21-24, longitudinal research is needed to directly assess the role of framing on actual uptake, as well as the longevity of the framing effect among those yet to receive a booster vaccine. Relevant to the lag in booster uptake in Australia25, the present research focused on increasing intention among those already receiving a primary course of COVID-19 vaccination. However, these results do not speak to the effect of framing on those never vaccinated. Investigation of framing on vaccine intention at all points of the vaccination programme would provide a more comprehensive account of the effect of framing on vaccine intentions in general. In summary, a brief online intervention engaging participants in side effect estimation before presenting positively framed side effect information can increase booster vaccine intention. Given the ease with which Positive Framing can be implemented, combined with the fact that the presentation of statistical information in this format does not violate patient informed consent9, the potential exists for framing of this type to make a real difference in improving societal protection from COVID-19 through reduced vaccine hesitancy.
