COVID-19 Vaccine Winter Booster 1a: Identify patients over 16 years of age and are severely immunocompromised due for a winter booster shot




Recipe Name:

Identify priority patients over 16 years of age and are severely immunocompromised due for a winter booster shot

Rationale:

ATAGI has recommended that all at risk patients who have received immunocompromised 3rd dose or a booster dose of vaccine 4 months or more ago are eligible for a winter booster shot if they belong to one of the following groups:

  1. Age 65 years and older
  2. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples aged 50 years and older
  3. Age 16 years and older and are severely immunocompromised

Target:

Patients aged 65 years or older who are severely immunocompromised

Recipe Limitations:

This report relies, among other details, on coded diagnoses in the patient record. As this is a requirement for accreditation and is also relevant for PIP-QI, we recommend to improve coding of conditions for all clinicians. Here are some helpful links:

CAT Starting Point:
  1. CAT Open - CAT4 view (all reports) loaded
  2. Population Extract Loaded and Extract Pane "Hidden"


Filter Steps:

  • On the "General" Tab, enter the Start Age = 65




In the example above my data is from the 27/05/2022. To only see patients who have received their vaccine four months or more ago I applied a date range filter that will show only those vaccines given after the 27/05/2021 (the exact date is not important, but it needs to be set to before the start of vaccine rollout) and the 'to' date needs to be four or more months from the date of your extract. In my case 27/05/2022 - six months is 27/01/2022.
Apply the filter by clicking on the recalculate icon on the top right of your screen:
Report Steps

  • Click on the Immunisations/COVID-19/Immunocompromised
  • Then click on the Dose 3 Astrazeneca, Dose 3 Pfizer, Dose 3 Moderna and Dose 3 Unknown in the legend to select only those patients who had immunocompromised dose 3 already




Click on the 'Export' button to see the list of patients who had received a booster shot four months or more ago:
