How are immunization reminders handled in Epic ASAP?

• A. Reminders are sent to patients by mail only
• B. Immunizations are recorded but reminders are never generated
• C. The system flags due vaccines based on patient history and schedules alerts or reminders for staff
• D. Reminders are posted publicly on the clinic wall

Answer: (C)

Immunization reminders in Epic ASAP are driven by the patient’s vaccine history and the recommended schedules. The system checks what has been given for each patient and what is due, and when a vaccine is due or overdue, it flags that item and generates alerts or tasks for the care team. This prompts clinicians to review, administer the vaccine, and update the record, helping ensure timely immunizations. It isn’t about mailing patients or posting notices on a wall—the reminders live in the workflow as alerts for staff to act on.
