Children who miss scheduled vaccines need a structured catch-up plan — not a blank slate. Clinit's vaccination module generates MOH-compliant catch-up schedules automatically based on the child's age and immunisation history.
Why Catch-Up Is Harder Than the Primary Schedule
The MOH primary schedule assumes a child starts on time. A child presenting at 18 months with no prior vaccination history, or one who missed several doses due to illness or supply issues, needs a different approach. Catch-up schedules require knowing:
- Which vaccines are age-appropriate given the child's current age
- Minimum intervals between doses of multi-dose vaccines
- Whether certain live vaccines should be separated (MMR + varicella: same day or 4 weeks apart)
- Combination options to minimise injections per visit
Getting this right from memory during a busy outpatient session is cognitively demanding.
How Clinit's Catch-Up Generator Works
When a child has incomplete vaccination records, the clinician enters the existing immunisation history (vaccines received with dates) and the child's date of birth. Clinit then:
- Compares the received vaccines against the full MOH 2026 schedule
- Identifies all missing doses
- Generates a catch-up plan — a proposed schedule of future visits with the vaccines to be given at each, respecting minimum intervals
- Flags contraindications — e.g., no live vaccines if the child is immunocompromised
Recording Batch Details
Each dose administered is recorded with:
- Manufacturer and batch/lot number
- Site and route of administration
- Administered by (staff member auto-populated)
- Adverse reaction observed at 30 minutes (none / local reaction / systemic reaction)
Parent Communication
After each vaccination visit, the parent receives a WhatsApp message with:
- What to expect (mild fever, arm soreness) and when to seek care
- Next vaccination date and vaccines due
Coverage Reports
The vaccination module generates a coverage report for the clinic — what percentage of the registered paediatric population is up to date for each vaccine. This is useful for JCI/GAHAR accreditation and for MOH reporting.
