The CHECC acknowledges and appreciates the amount of work that goes into submitting the weekly LHD Sitrep. At the same time, the CHECC continues to receive report templates with missing, incomplete, and outdated information submitted each week. There are two areas where this occurs most often: school outbreak reporting, and vaccination clinic reporting.
For school outbreak reporting, the most prevalent errors are incomplete or missing school addresses, missing dates in the Date of Report column and Date First Reported in Sitrep column, or information inserted into the incorrect column. Note: Date of Report is the date the outbreak was reported to the LHD. Note: school outbreaks are not closed until 28 days after shared exposure.
For vaccination clinic reporting, the most prevalent error is the use of outdated vaccination clinic reporting tools resulting in incorrect reporting of targeted priority populations and omitting the question of whether the MI Volunteer Registry was used to identify/deploy volunteers used at individual clinics.
Beginning with the April 22 report, any outdated, incomplete, or otherwise defective report submissions will be returned to the LHD for correction and resubmission. The updated report submission would be due back to the CHECC on Friday during normal business hours.

The next CDC virtual instructor-led RealOpt© training session on vaccination and point-of-dispensing (POD) sites will be held at 1 p.m. EDT on Monday, May 10. Participants will learn the basic components of RealOpt©, a computer modeling program that determines POD or vaccination site staff requirements and examines process efficiencies based on site-specific configurations. With this tool, participants will learn to manipulate existing POD and vaccine flow models and how to run and interpret the performance reports. By the end of the session, participants will have learned how to build or modify their own models to identify where staff should be allocated and how to eliminate bottlenecks and optimize processing times.
CDC encourages POD and vaccination managers, local and state medical countermeasure planners, and other preparedness planners to register for a monthly training session. Registration for the RealOpt© training session is required through MI-TRAIN. Registration deadline is seven days prior to the course delivery date. Additional training sessions will be held on the following dates.
- Thursday, June 10
