Covid Vaccine Documentation

I am located in NC and am curious how other health systems across the country are currently documenting administration of Covid vaccine. Our vaccines are currently being offered to team members and established patients in our health system with plans to open it up to the general public regardless of where their PCP is located. For team members and established patients we are double documenting--once on the state required registry and then in the patient's EMR record. How are others documenting? Are you documenting in multiple locations as well? For those that are planning for mass vaccinations in your communities, how do you plan to documents since it's not generally feasible to create a new EMR record for every patient vaccinated who is not established within the system?

Any help and insight is so appreciated!
