| Flu Data | What was posted on the upload page was perfect for January 2021 For the baseline, what is wanted is "per month" - can it be pulled by month? Ask Azara? |

| Any interesting examples of flu or COVID vaccine distribution? | As in the news NACHC has received, we've seen bush planes, snowmobiles, great systems of delivery to small, remote places. Robust consortium of Tribal Health entities. IHS gets its own allotment, and that has made a difference in rural and native American communities, and the tribal health system. Non members of tribes can also get vaccinated by tribal health, so households can get vaccinated. All ages have been getting vaccinated - not as limited as other locations. Example: one CHC has vaccine from the state, which has priority of 55+ and Health Care Workers. Everyone in those two categories has been vaccinated. They are being ordered to hold the vaccine in storage rather than go on to the next priority group. IHS priorities are set differently and able to immunize anyone they want, as they have self-governance. They are also using all doses, not holding them once all have been vaccinated. they are reaching out to individuals, and able to identify people in small towns to make sure everyone is immunized. Small might mean 200 people. Or even 60 or 30. In some villages, both systems may be present, i.e., tribal and non-tribal. In some cases, non-Tribal members are seeing tribal beneficiaries members get vaccinated because the guidelines are different. Julia Skapik (Deactivated) lack of clarity and uniformity can yield differences, Providing supply to organizations that know the communities best seems to work best. | |||
| IIS in Alaska | VacTrak - Former user (Deleted) the IIS has had to redo their online application process - it was cumbersome. AND there is the part of the system on which providers are supposed to keep records about the vaccination encounter - they are supposed to enter than in VacTrac, but the numbers are not correlating - not matching. Not as smooth as it could be. Are we talking about access to the data in VacTrac so we can see how vaccination is going? Julia Skapik (Deactivated) both. And tracking the second doses. Ideally, it would be easy to get the information in, easy to get information out again. Former user (Deleted) APCA was promised access to the bi-directional interface, but that has not happened yet. Communication has gone to the state ppl. Some health centers do have bi-directional data access/transfer. Data does not upload into EHR. |
