Screen positive means that they have answered yes to any of the standard COVID-19 risk assessment/screening questions asked at vaccination reception (see Operating Guidance Appendix G). This means that the consumer is considered high risk for being exposed to COVID-19. These people are not suitable to be vaccinated according to the usual service design model (physical set-up of vaccination sites, workforce, and PPE guidance) as these settings are designed to be a low-risk environment. Vaccination of screen positive consumers requires additional considerations (as outlined below) as is currently recommended in only a home visit context, or in a controlled healthcare facility.
