Even before the COVID-19 outbreak, dual-dosage vaccinations have presented an expected set of complications for most healthcare facilities. Now, with pop-up immunization clinics appearing across the country, past complication could impact vaccine efficacy if left unchecked. Common issues surrounding dual-dosage immunizations include:
-
- Tracking timeframes between dosages to certify efficacy – Some immunizations require specific time frames between dosages in order to work. If those timelines are not maintained, both dosages may be ineffective and therefore wasted.
- Correctly storing vaccination cards for future use – Vaccination cards are often kept by patients who may or may not update their schedules correctly. Failure to do so can alter timeframes between dosages.
- Vaccination card legibility – Cards that are updated manually and stored in humid or inadequate locations may no longer be legible by vaccine administrators.
Digitization enhances Vaccination
To accelerate vaccinations without hindering efficacy, OCR Canada has worked with leading technology manufacturers to eliminate manual data entry, empowering immunization clinics to vaccinate up to 10,000 people per day. Our digitized systems included adaptable Brother printers to deliver identification labels for patients and vaccines. Long-lasting labels could then be used to verify patients returning for their second dose as they matched previous identification labels stored in the facility’s database.
