We just had our first interdisciplinary  COVID-19 vaccination planning meeting (Infection Prevention,  Occupational Health, Pharmacy, Distribution, Emergency Planning, ID physicians)

We were told by our Health Dept to prepare to start limited vaccinations in late Oct/early Nov with a ramp up by the end of December.

 

Topics we discussed:

 

 

Would love to hear what others are doing to prepare.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] COVID-19 vaccination planning

 

WARNING: This email came from an external source outside of Tampa General Hospital.

 

All of us in employee health will probably be discussing this at our respective centers, if not doing so already! So, here goes:

I am a part of a clinical operations planning group for COVID-19 vaccination program planning. Have you begun such discussions in your medical centers? If so, do you have guidelines or plans or information that is necessary to implement a successful COVID-19 vaccination program when vaccines do become available? Are there regulatory (state, JCAHO, etc.) requirements/recommendations that are currently “in the making” that you are aware of? Would you be willing to share any information?

If you want to respond separately, I will compile responses and send to the group.

Thanks and stay safe!
