Immunizations

[Wallace, Andrew]

Good afternoon - I had a request from our nurses around immunizations. Does anyone know anything about this change and/or pending fixes or work arounds that are not onerous?

The laws for required immunizations have changed since we first started with IC. The reporting component of the program does not cover the new requirements such that, we can enter the info, but if we try to print compliance reports (as we are able to do with the older requirements), the info is not captured. We did a work around to try to get a report for this spring as we have to send notices to families of incoming 7th and 12th grade changes. The work around is cumbersome-we are wondering/hoping that an update is anticipated that would address this. Have you heard anything on this subject?

Our nurses pushed to go with a different product back in 2014, and one of the reasons is because they felt that IC didn't track immunization compliance properly. I wonder if there are even more recent changes, or this is the same issue.

The nurses chose SNAP from Promedsoftware: http://www.promedsoftware.com

Assuming you can catch a nurse with a free moment, you could try our nurse at the Waterville Senior High School. wshs.aos92.org

My mistake on the physicals, there are new vaccines that are required.  

[Katie Gourley]

I haven't touched this one yet, but for the last one they changed I had to go in to system admin and put in the new rules for that vaccine before it would report correctly.

There is a new Meningococcal vaccine (code: MCV4) requirement for Maine Schools, that goes into effect next year, and which was just "finalized" in April (whatever that means... see copy/pasted email from DOE below).

I had tried to create the immunization rules myself using IC's interface, but it's not intuitive and IC recommends having them do it... so I sent the new rules to IC, and they replied they were aware but were awaiting confirmation from the state.  Then by 4/16, I think they got what they needed from the state and they sent my case (673249) onto development.  

I am not sure when we will get the new vaccine rule in our local systems, but at least the process has begun.

--------------------------------------------

The changes to Chapter 126/261 have gone through the Final Adoption stage.  Additional materials will be forthcoming, but I wanted to announce it to you as soon as possible, since you have been patiently waiting.

 

Changes to the joint rule include:

 

*Definition of “disease” includes meningococcal meningitis

*updating the list of medical contraindications to MCV4 that can serve as medical exemption

*updating vaccine dosage requirements to include one dose of MCV4 for entry into 7^th grade, and if the first dose is not administered on or after the 16^th birthday, a second dose prior to entry to grade 12.

 

Effective Date of Final Adoption-May 10, 2018 (for the start of school, fall 2018)

Thanks for the update!
