What does it do?

This protocol is available for users to launch manually to check whether patients are eligible for a shingles vaccination.
  1. You will need to select patient
  2. There are a number of aspects this protocol checks for (in the background) prior to you seeing a message:
    1. Whether the vaccine has already been administered
    2. Eligibility criteria
    3. Allergies or contraindications
    4. Vaccine declined
  3. A message will appear (see below screenshots), depending on which route (from the above checks) the protocol has taken.
  4. You can then select an appropriate action from the message displayed

Why is it important?

This protocol will help team members quickly and efficiently identify if a patient is eligible for their shingles vaccination. This is important because it saves time within general practice, as well as ensuring accuracy.

There are other messages which can appear when using this protocol, for example, if:
  1. The patient has a code suggesting an allergy or a contraindication to shingles vaccination
  2. The patient is eligible for the shingles vaccination due to a condition or a medication they are taking
  3. The patient has already had a complete course of the shingles vaccination
  4. The patient has had the first dose of the shingles vaccination and requires a second dose
These additional messages then have relevant options after them to support the user in taking the appropriate action.
