Add a New Immunization
Additional immunization types can be added to the pre-loaded list at any time by Owners and Administrators. The immunizations shown in the Manage tab are your main list for all sites. However, the numbers in the color circles are site-specific and show how many children at each site have that immunization on file.
Follow these steps to add a new Immunization to the list:
- Go to Medical & Compliance (left menu) > Setup and Manage Immunizations link.
- Go to either the Overview or Manage tab and click the + New button.
- Enter an Immunization Name and Description in the Create New Immunization window and click Save. The new immunization type is added to the list on the Immunizations page > Manage tab and ready to use.
Refer to the CDC Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule for additional information on immunization recommendations.
Edit, Replace, or Delete an Immunization
Owners and Administrators can go to the Immunizations page > Manage tab. Click the Options icon
to Edit, Replace, or Delete an immunization.
