Route of administrationReview the administration route, which defaults to IM. If you need to update the Admin Route, click the drop-down and select from the list.
Typical VFC/Public  eligibilityIf any of your vaccine lots are specifically VFC or private stock, the typical VFC eligibility will always choose the VFC eligibility when adding new lots.
Typical body siteIf a vaccine for your patients (that are 4 years and older) is typically given in one particular body site, then you can choose that site to auto populate while documenting (the majority of the time) We generally suggest keeping this blank to help cut down on error when actually giving the vaccine.
Typical infant body siteIf a vaccine for your infant patients (under age 4) is typically given in one particular body site, then you can choose that site to auto populate while documenting (the majority of the time). We generally suggest keeping this blank to help cut down on error when actually giving the vaccine.

Patient EducationEnter the information to display in the Counseling/discussion field when administering the vaccine. The information entered will display when choosing Edit in the Complete List tab of Immunizations.
ArchivedAny vaccines you would not like to see while documenting in OP can be archived.

Archive a Vaccine Product in the Vaccine Codes Table

There may be instances where the practice added a vaccine product to the Vaccine Codes table when the vaccine was not available in OP. Once the vaccine product is added to the Vaccine Codes table, it is recommended the original vaccine is archived. This will allow for the vaccine product to be properly forecasted using OP's VacLogic+.

  1. Navigate to the Vaccine Codes table: Practice Management > More (Reference Data) > Vaccine Products.
  2. Click to select the Vaccine that needs to be edited.
  3. Click the Ellipsis button  in the E column. 
  4. Click the checkbox for Archive (out of production or no longer used).
  5. Click the Save button.
  6. The below list will need to be reviewed to ensure the correct vaccine product is used moving forward.
  • Edit the template(s)s where the vaccine product was added. Delete the old vaccine product then add the correct vaccine product in the Immunizations tab of the Orders/Worksheet.
  • Move the remaining vaccine inventory to the correct vaccine product. You will be required to add a new vaccine inventory lot, using the new vaccine product, and retire the old lot. 
  • When adding the correct vaccine product inventory, confirm the VFC eligibility usage: is set to All Pats. This will allow the vaccine to be administered to patient with VFC and Private insurance.
