How to update a vaccination status
If you need to amend a vaccination status (to given or not given or vice versa), please follow these steps.
Please note that changing vaccination status on Referral details will NOT update the vaccination status history.
1- Via the consents received shortcut:
Go to the "Consents received" tab and select the record needed. You will see three horizontal lines. Select the option "Update Vaccination Status" from the drop-down menu and complete the form with the vaccination details.
2- Via the patient's record:
1- Open the patient's record.
2- Select the immunisations button on the left-hand side:
3- In the Immunisation information Action box, select the arrows.
4- Select "Update Vaccination status" from the drop-down menu:
5. A pop-up window will appear.
Please note that if the child has already been outcomed using the mobile or the spreadsheet, the form will be prefilled with the previous outcomes recorded.
If the child has a vaccination status “not processed,” the form will appear as follows:
Select each field on the form and select the relevant vaccination status, injection site, batch number, expiry date, clinic date and time. If you DO NOT know all the details of previous vaccinations given elsewhere, you can leave these fields blank.
IMPORTANT– Please ensure you add additional notes and the reason for the change, as this will be recorded in the vaccination history, timeline events and patient referral details.
Vaccination History
You can check the recorded or updated outcome by checking the vaccination history.
- Select the immunisations button on the left-hand side.
