Hello All,

How are you documenting Shingrix in in the Administration Management form? If you go into settings to modify your custom list Shingrix isn't a group. You could add Shingrix as a specific vaccine under Zoster but since Shingrix has two doses it is going to get confusing quickly for the providers keeping track of if the dose given was a Zostavax or Shringrix. Does anyone have any thoughts for a good way to set this up?

Thanks,

Brad

This is becoming a BIG problem for us as well. Has a case been opened up on this?

Our providers asked about this as well. I opened a case (02421944) and they confirmed that Shingrix is considered similar enough to Zoster that it is in the same group. We plan to use a form to display the last Zoster/Shingrix given using the code below, but this isn't ideal.

{IMMUN_GETLIST ('Zoster', 'last')}

Are the immunization schedules that work with the Immunization Management form working with Shingrix? I just did a test, and it never alerted me that the second vaccine was due.

Thank you for your feedback.

Hello,

We are struggling with this issue, as well. I built an immunization history view, but I haven't found a way to separate Zostavax from Shingrix (both in the Zoster group). Has anyone found a way to easily identify the two immunizations?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Myles,

The best we could do is what you have already done. We built a shingrix view in immunization history and and have advised staff to be careful when inputting data. Thankfully we have moved to giving Shringrix with Zostavax as the exception so that helps too.

In case anyone is like me and suddenly needed a way to display this correctly and couldn't find an answer here, this is what we did:

{!fn fnTextTransImmunget(data) {

local hold = getfield(data, "|", "")
local temp
local rslt = ""
for i = 1, i <= size(hold), i = i + 1 do
temp = getfield(hold[i], "^", "")
if (rslt <> "") then
rslt = rslt
endif
rslt = rslt + sub(temp[5],1,8) + " - " + temp[30] + "
"
endfor
return rslt
}}
{fnTextTransImmunget(IMMUN_GETLIST("ZOSTER", "All"))}

I have it in history view for vaccines and in a visit document that they providers use to review all preventive care. In my system it lists all vaccines with name and date given. I have it pulling just the first 8 digits of the vaccine name to keep it simple.
