Every heatlhcare encounter is an opportunity to provide both acute care and health maintenance to children. A Clinical Decision Support (CDS) intervention was instituted in a tertiary pediatric health system to improve influenza vaccination rates during the 2019-2020 season among eligible children receiving care in an acute care inpatient healthcare setting. This study explores reasons for low vaccine uptake following implementation of a CDS aimed at improving vaccine administration as well as identifying possible solutions to improve flu vaccine coverage.
