This article will detail the metrics within the Vaccination Support cabinet relating to the COVID-19 vaccine eligibility
The Vaccination support: COVID-19 vaccine cabinet provides metrics to help you deliver the COVID-19 vaccine to your community based on the current eligibility as advised by the Department of Health.
To navigate to this cabinet, go to Clinic Optimisation > Vaccination support: COVID-19 vaccine.
Use these metrics to help you identify the patients at the clinic who are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccination.
New metrics for winter 2024 help you to find patients who are recommended & should consider a COVID-19 vaccination, based on the updated ATAGI statement on the administration of COVID-19 vaccines in 2024.

After a successful nightly extract with the new indicators for the COVID-19 vaccine, the cabinet will be available to your practice in 1-2 business days. Feel free to get in touch with support@cubiko.com.au if you have any questions!
Configuring Cubiko Settings for COVID-19 vaccine appointments
To get the most out of the appointment metrics, you will need to log into Cubiko Settings and let us know the appointments you are using for COVID-19 vaccines.
To do this, navigate to Settings > Cubiko Settings > 2. Appointments.
NOTE: Cubiko extracts any updated users or appointments from your server overnight. Therefore if you have just added a new appointment type or user for COVID-19 vaccines, please check back the next morning after a successful nightly extract.
Find the specific appointments that you have configured in your practice management software to be used for COVID-19 vaccines. Make sure that the box is ticked for 'Covax appointment?' selection.
Hopefully, you are familiar with Cubiko Settings and configuring appointments. If you aren't, feel free to check out our detailed knowledge base section all about Cubiko Settings.
NOTE: If you have chosen to set up a new location for your Covid Vaccination appointments, please email us at support@cubiko.com.au as this new location will need to be manually included in your nightly data extracts for your data to show correctly in the Vaccination Support cabinet.
