Inpatient COVID Vaccine - Coadministration

I am reaching out to see how other institutions are approaching inpatient administration of COVID-19 vaccines.
• Based on the current CDC recommendations, COVID-19 vaccines should be administered alone, with a minimum 14 day window before or after administration of all other vaccines. Have you considered leveraging your EHR to alert prescribers when a patient has received a COVID-19 vaccine in the past 14 days?
• Looking to the fall and influenza vaccines, have you thought about issues with administration? How would you try and prevent inadvertent administration of the influenza vaccine or any other vaccine too close to a COVID-19 vaccine?
