Managing Immunization Schedules

What it does

Applies the ACIP/CDC pediatric immunization schedule (birth through 18 years) with catch-up algorithms, minimum interval enforcement, contraindication and precaution screening, and documentation standards for state immunization registries. It helps clinicians, nurses, and public health staff determine valid doses, schedule catch-up visits, and document vaccine administration.

When to use it

Use this skill during vaccine intake, charting, or clinic workflow when you need to: validate prior doses, compute minimum intervals, build catch-up schedules for under-immunized children, screen for true contraindications and precautions, and prepare state registry documentation. Useful for pediatric clinics, school-entry assessments, and international adoption evaluations.

What's included

• Scripts: none detected in repo (has_scripts=false)
• References: none bundled (has_references=false)
• Instructions: Detailed stepwise intake checklist, routine and adolescent schedules, catch-up algorithm, contraindication matrices, and audit checklist are included in the skill body. The skill enumerates vaccine series, minimum ages/intervals, and special-population rules (preterm, immunocompromised, asplenia).

Compatible agents

Designed for clinical/management assistant agents that can present decision-support text and calculate schedules. No runtime scripts required; best used by agents with medical knowledge or access to clinical calculators.
