Page History

While we have mapped a very large number of conditions to identify all at risk patients, due to time constraints and inconsistencies between the different clinical systems, some conditions were not included. These are:

• Some chronic inflammatory conditions and treatments (no specifications given by the DoH)
• poorly controlled blood pressure (due to CAT only extracting the most recent BP measurement and a lack of clarity in the available hypertension related diagnoses this was not mapped)

Please exercise your discretion as clinicians to ensure that all patients who are at risk are included in the vaccine allocation, as Pen CS can only provide a report that shows potentially at risk patients to the best of our ability.

Also note that the high/moderate risk criteria are not aligned with the roll-out schedule, as indigenous patients over 55 are not listed as high or moderate risk. To identify those patients for the 1b phase of the roll-out please use this recipe: COVID-19 Vaccine 1b: Identify Indigenous patients over 55

Once in phase 2a, these recipes will enable you to find remaining indigenous and other patients for that phase of the rollout:

COVID-19 Vaccine 2a: Identify Indigenous patients 18-54

COVID-19 Vaccine 2a: Identify patients aged 50-69 years
