1. A computer-implemented method in a computer system having a processor and memory for preventing an inappropriate live virus combination from being administered to a person, the method comprising:

  • receiving, from a clinician utilizing a first computer process, an indication of two or more live virus immunizations to be administered to a person;

    generating, utilizing a second 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 a former clinical visit, the two or more live virus immunizations to be administered to the person as received from the clinician, and a standard schedule of recommended immunizations;

    accessing, utilizing a third computer process, a database comprised of information identifying one or more combinations of live virus immunizations that create a potential adverse reaction when administered in combination;

    determining, with a fourth computer process, the two or more live virus immunizations constitute an inappropriate live virus combination based, at least in part, on the database comprised of information identifying one or more combinations of live virus immunizations that create a potential adverse reaction;

    updating, with a fifth computer process, the custom immunization schedule for the person in response to receiving an input regarding an immunization to be administered during a present clinical visit;

    generating an output, with a sixth computer process, indicating that the two or more live virus immunizations constitute an inappropriate live virus combination;

    the first, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth computer processes are executed utilizing one or more computing devices.
