  • Implemented a coordinated process involving infection prevention, pharmacy, and outpatient operations.
  • Collected observational feedback through team debriefs and informal reports.
  • Only 9 out of 30 interested healthcare worker members were vaccinated, highlighting communication gaps.
  • Clinic and pharmacy operations were well-coordinated despite scheduling challenges.
