Create a Flu Clinic or combined Flu and COVID clinic

By selecting ‘Create New Clinic’ from the homepage tile

or selecting ‘Clinic Management’ in the main navigation and then ‘Create a Clinic’ from the drop-down 

The user will now have the option to select the vaccine type(s) to be administered at the clinic in the Vaccine Types section of the Create Clinic form

Register Patients at a Joint Flu and COVID Clinic

Where a clinic has been set up for the purpose of supporting Flu and COVID-19 then the user will have to select what vaccines the patient will receive on this visit to the clinic.

The option to select which vaccine types the patient will receive will only be available at registration if the clinic has been set up as a clinic that supports different vaccine types.

The user would select both Vaccine types in the case of Co-Administration, or just select flu if only flu vaccine to be administered or just select COVID-19 if only a COVID-19 vaccine to be administered.

NOTE: If for any reason a patient is registered only for flu or COVID-19 when the intention was to register for Co-administration of Flu and COVID-19. 

The user can either remove the registered patient from the clinic list then re-register them by selecting both vaccine types when re-registering the patient.

Or
 
the user can register the patient again selecting only the vaccination type that was missing.  This would mean two separate vaccination for each vaccine type would appear on the list on clinic list. The Vaccinator would need to be made aware of this. 

Co-Administration - Screening and Consent

At a clinic set up to support multiple vaccine types and the patient has been registered to receive the different vaccines available at the clinic i.e. co-administration then at the  Screening and Consent stage the user will be presented with the screen below.

The user will then have to complete the screening and consent for the different vaccinations.

Co-Administration – Vaccination

At a clinic set up to support multiple vaccine types and the patient has been registered to receive the different vaccines available at the clinic then at the Vaccinate Patient stage the user will be presented with the screen below.

COVID-19 Dose Number 3, 4 or Booster

The user interface has been designed to support the standard approved COVID-19 course of vaccination up to two doses and a booster dose, however, the user can reveal a dose 3 and dose 4 option by clicking on show other dose numbers.
