After seeing every patient there are a few things left to wrap up your immunization clinic.

Ensure Zero Vaccine Waste

If you have any unused vaccine doses, consider how to use them before they expire. Consider patients on your immunization clinic waiting list, your team, learners, and any volunteers working with you.

Wrap Up Team Huddle

Take a few minutes as a team to quickly reflect at the end of each immunization clinic and ask for rapid cycle quality improvement ideas. These huddles are especially helpful after the first few clinics or if you have changing team members and volunteers – these will pay off quickly. Make sure you thank the whole team for the work done!

Capture Ideas for Quality Improvement

In the huddle, quickly discuss what worked well and how the next clinic could be done better.

PHAC has another example you can use if you want to do a more formal survey of the team (which may be useful for larger immunization clinics). Bring these learnings forward to incorporate into future immunization clinics.

Put Away Used Materials

Put away any materials that can be reused. Materials that cannot be safely stored for the next immunization clinic should be safely disposed of. Soiled materials (PPE, etc.) should also be disposed of safely as per local standards and protocols.

Complete Documentation

If there is any uncompleted documentation, take time to complete the required documentation (NOTE: this may require entry into multiple systems).

Document Who Did Not Attend

Given the desire to immunize as many people as we can, document who was booked and did not attend. The next section is about following up with patients to check in and hopefully reschedule.
