Inpatient COVID-19 Vaccine Administration Process

Read Time: 1 min

Effective September 7, 2021 at 8 a.m.

Community safety is one of our top priorities. Therefore, Kettering Health is expanding the availability for our patients to receive the COVID-19 vaccine upon inpatient discharge. Our teams at Sycamore and Southview trialed and refined the inpatient process for the Pfizer vaccine administration. On September 7, 2021, at 8 a.m., we have this available for all inpatient and maternity units. 

To support our teams with learning this process, we have the step-by-step directions attached.  On Tuesday, August 31 at 9 a.m., there will be a Teams meeting to review the process and answer questions.

As required by the Ohio Department of Health, any team member is required to read and understand the content COVID-19 Vaccine administration. All bedside RNs have been assigned the KHN COVID19 Vaccine Administration that needs to be completed prior to go-live 9/7/21. 

Thank you for your support of the community and our patients.
