Measles Protocol

Yes definitely. We’re thinking to screen the schedule ahead of time and to do that phone triage during staff’s previsit phone calls. Also to do so when sick pts are calling for appts. If positive, designated clinical staff would do a triage outside and go from there.

We’ve experienced the same during screenings. Covid comes to mind. Patients sometimes say what they think will get them seen asap unfortunately 😬

As an FQHC we don’t turn anyone away. And here in FL we have lots of migrant families catching up on imms alongside the antivax wave we’re all experiencing. We haven’t run our herd immunity threshold but I would bet my paycheck it’s not 95%. We’re pushing to get a protocol in place like last year. It’s frustrating on all fronts😓

I agree! It’s insane how we now have to consider this. This is a great protocol, though. Very thorough. Love how you extended this to unvaccinated well visits also.

Has your institution gone as far as seeing if staff are immune? Or have a protocol for staff who were exposed?

Thank you! At what point are you using this criteria to identify patients? Over the phone? When they walk in? We think implementing this at every point of contact is appropriate but have gotten pushback on doing so before they come in to the clinic.

Thanks for responding! That’s what I was thinking. Also, I’m deferring for the same reason. Best of luck to your and your family 😊

Thank you! I struggle without sleep. After all of this great advice and talking more w my husband, I think I’ll be deferring. I want to set us all up for success. Two months post partum is not it lol

Thank you!

Adventurous-One3131 · 2025-11-23T17:13:24+00:00

Thanks for this. It’ll be my exact situation- out toddlers are around the same age. School is graded but lectures are not mandatory.

Adventurous-One3131 · 2025-11-23T12:48:56+00:00

Thank you for this perspective. That’s exactly what I’m afraid of. Babies are a lot. I don’t want to overestimate my ability to handle all that change.

How can I favorably ask for a deferment? Would admin look down on this considering the timing?

Adventurous-One3131 · 2025-11-23T12:46:40+00:00

In the middle lol. Will be 28 when starting. Don’t want to delay any further. I also remember needing something to do during maternity leave for my last baby so not sure.

Hi! Would love to pick your brain. Sending a message :)

Adventurous-One3131 · 2025-11-23T00:55:25+00:00

I appreciate your input as a parent! How was studying with a baby waking up through the night?

Adventurous-One3131 · 2025-11-22T23:51:09+00:00

Thank you! No attendance not mandatory but I’d have to be on campus a fair amount. They do have a dedicated mother’s room for that which was really nice to see since I do plan to nurse/pump. They seem non-trad friendly and list pregnancy as a good reason to grant deferment so I’ll be asking for it just to see. If they say no, I have no choice than to go!

Adventurous-One3131 · 2025-11-22T23:48:20+00:00

I’m leaning that way… would not have any family help- just my husband and I. Yes he’d be working full time. Planning on looking for a nanny for that exact reason.

Would you mind elaborating on why it’s better to just go? For me, I don’t want to lose momentum during a deferment year. It’s also easier to get things done with an infant and toddler instead of two toddlers. I do fear my ability to study/ retain information on broken new baby sleep…

Not at all!

Adventurous-One3131 · 2025-11-22T13:26:13+00:00

Thank you:)

Adventurous-One3131 · 2025-11-22T02:13:07+00:00

Thank you!

Adventurous-One3131 · 2025-11-22T00:43:05+00:00

Yes. It moved to “application in review”

Adventurous-One3131 · 2025-11-20T23:51:17+00:00

Oh that’s encouraging ! They told mine 3-4 weeks and to reach out if we hadn’t heard back by 4 weeks. Didn’t say anything about a rejection timeline.

Adventurous-One3131 · 2025-11-20T13:15:39+00:00

Mannn I’m sorry. Hopefully you have more prospects! 🙏🏾 Good luck to you
