This option is an interface to set up vaccine settings for the VACMAN database management system. It allows providers to submit vaccine inventory information to their state registry. Users must have the Vaccine Ordering Management permission in order to use this option.
A vaccine does not appear as available on an order if it is not defined on the VacMan Vaccine Settings, even if it is included in the Order Set.
To access this option, click the Administration > Settings > VacMan Vaccine Settings link. The VacMan Vaccine Search page opens. Enter the Vaccine Name and/or select a Status (both fields are optional), then click Search. The search results appear in a list with the following fields. Click Add Row to add additional vaccine settings or edit the current settings if needed; click Save when finished.
If there are two rows for the same vaccine in the VacMan Vaccine Settings and they have different manufacturers, include the manufacturer name in the VacMan description. Also, if more than one vaccine of the same type is selected (i.e., two DTaPs) as the default, an error message appears stating that only one default record can be selected. Additionally, the list of vaccines is predefined based on values in VACMAN. If a vaccine is not used in the state, it can be deleted from the list and added later if needed. |
