In the COVID squad, we want to set up a prototype package of resources that any implementer could use or reference when they need to start supporting COVID Vaccination-related workflows.
This will also help us further test & demonstrate the improvements we’ve made to the DHIS2 Connector module.
@jteich is going to get started on this as the product owner, and is already working on vaccine administration and supply forms.
COVAX MVP Proposal
In order of priority & dependencies, these are the steps we need to take next. @Jteich I’m hoping you can own these:
-
Forms: Build sample OMRS forms in an OMRS instance (initial jab, follow-up, Adverse Events) - can use DHIS2 demo reports & forms as requirements
-
Sample Data: Enter sample data in those forms
-
Reports: Set up OMRS report and DHIS2 report. Show the data can go into an OMRS report or a DHIS2 dashboard (using DHIS2 Connector Module).
-
Patient Lists: Show the data generating a patient list (e.g. patients to prioritize). Ideally shows patients who haven’t been vaccinated yet (of patients we know about in OMRS instances)
Nice to have once 1-4 are working: Show someone turns up with positive COVID test/diagnosis, correlate that with COVAX

Resources to Review when starting this work
- Top Priority: Get an understanding of the DHIS2 COVAX offering, since they have built this based on direct feedback from Ministries of Health - so this is likely to reflect the kinds of requirements that OpenMRS implementers will face in coming months. See the overview, demo sites, and helpful webinar recording here: Covid Vaccine Delivery - DHIS2
- Page I had worked on with JJ about what would be needed for COVID-19 Vaccine Tools - describes some user stories COVID-19 Vaccine Tools: Proposal & Requirements - Projects - OpenMRS Wiki
- Notes from interview with Dr. Terry Cullen about how COVAX dashboarding is happening in the US: Interview with Dr. Terry Cullen 2021-02-10: COVAX reporting requirements - Google Docs
