Recipe Name:

Identify pregnant patients without Pertussis immunisation

Rationale:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that pregnant women receive the whooping cough vaccine for adolescents and adults (called Tdap vaccine)
during the third trimester of each pregnancy. The recommended time to get the shot is during your 27th through 36th week of pregnancy, preferably during the earlier part of
this time period. This replaces the original recommendation that pregnant women get the vaccine only if they had not previously received it.

Target:

All patients currently listed as pregnant on your system who don't have a pertussis vaccination recorded in the last 6 months
