Vaccines

Only administrators and lead administrators can access this section, where they can add and manage vaccine products.

You need to add vaccines before you can start recording vaccinations.

Video: Adding vaccines

This short video shows you how to add vaccines.

How to add vaccines

Select the Vaccines link in the header. This will take you to the Vaccines section.

Then select Add vaccine and follow the instructions on the next pages to:

• select the site where you want to add vaccines, if your organisation has multiple sites
• select the vaccine type and vaccine product
• enter the batch number and expiry date

How to view details of vaccine batches

Select View next to a vaccine product to see all the batches ever added, including any that are now inactive because they are finished or past their expiry date.

When a batch is finished

When a batch runs out, you can mark it as depleted (finished). You will be asked to select the date of depletion. The earliest date you can select is the following day.

Once a batch is marked as depleted, it is not available to select when you record a vaccination given after the depletion date.

If you are a London-based pharmacy

If you are a London-based pharmacy offering flu vaccinations, make sure you select the correct option when adding vaccines.

For flu vaccinations offered as part of the national flu service, select Flu.

For flu vaccinations offered as part of the London flu service that targets specific health inclusion groups, such as asylum seekers and homeless people, select Flu (London).
