CVP-Q01 Possible Contraindication to COVID vaccine

This search contains all those patients who are likely to be contraindicated to receiving the COVID vaccine. The criteria are those who have a coded history of anaphylaxis or adverse reaction to a vaccine; adverse reaction to the COVID vaccine; any issue ever of an adrenaline auto injector; and currently pregnant.

Patients appearing in this list should be clinically reviewed as soon as possible to determine whether or not they are suitable to receive the vaccine. When you open the report you will notice that patients are sorted in age order so you can pull out blocks of data according to which priority cohort you are working on.

We have been cautious with the history of adverse reaction to a vaccine by including all codes, despite the green book stating that the vaccine should not be given to patients who have had a… ”confirmed anaphylactic reaction to any components of the COVID-19 vaccine”

Anybody who has been clinically reviewed and determined to have a contraindication to the COVID vaccine needs to be coded with SARS-CoV-2 immunisation course contraindicated.

CVP-Q07 Two vaccine codes on the same day

This is a simple data quality exercise to find patients who have had the vaccine code inputted twice on the same day. 

CVP-Q12 AstraZeneca contraindications

This search highlights patients with thrombocytopenia codes which is a contraindication to receiving the AZ vaccine.

CVP-Q13 Vaccinations as problems

This search helps to keep problem lists clean by listing patients who have had a vaccine added as a problem, so the problem status can be removed.
