1. A computer-implemented method in a computer system for preventing one or more immunizations from being administered to a person too early, the method comprising:

  • receiving from a clinician, utilizing a first computer process, a request for an immunization schedule for a person during a present clinical visit;

    receiving from the clinician, utilizing a second computer process, an identification of an immunization to be administered to the person, wherein the identification of the immunization is input by the clinician during the present clinical visit with the person;

    generating, utilizing a third computer process, a custom immunization schedule for the person, wherein the custom immunization schedule is based on at least one immunization administered to the person during at least one former clinical visit prior to the present clinical visit, the immunization identified from the input by the clinician to be administered to the person during the present clinical visit, and a standard schedule of recommended immunizations;

    in response to receiving the identification of the immunization to be administered during the present clinical visit, determining, utilizing a fourth computer process, whether it is too soon to administer the immunization, wherein the determination whether it is too soon to administer the immunization is based on the custom immunization schedule for the person;

    based on a determination that it is not too soon to administer the immunization, displaying a notification that is it safe to administer the immunization during the present clinical visit;

    based on a determination that it is too soon to administer the immunization, displaying a warning that the immunization is being administered too soon; and

    updating the custom immunization schedule for the person in response to receiving an input regarding the immunization to be administered during the present clinical visit,wherein the first, second, third and fourth computer processes are executed utilizing one or more computing devices.
