IWeb User Guide |
Before you can view or add vaccinations for a patient, you must first search for that patient, then click the Vaccinations > View/Add menu link. A page opens with information about the patient, along with the patient's vaccination forecast and a Vaccination View/Add section for seeing past vaccinations and adding new ones. In fact, authorized users can perform these actions on this page:
If the system administrator has configured vaccines to appear in alphabetical order, they appear in alphabetical order on this page. Administered vaccinations appear first, followed by unadministered vaccinations.
Note that patient vaccinations are re-forecasted before the Vaccination View/Add page opens. This eliminates problems encountered after an upgrade or before the registry forecast is complete. It also eliminates the need for users to force a forecast by editing a vaccination.
Regarding the rabies vaccine, an exception for the vaccine level deduplication for rabies post-exposure vaccine series has been created to apply special logic that differs from the registry-wide setting established through Administration > Settings > Properties > Deduplication > Dedup Vaccination Threshold. The rabies series that needs to be accommodated regardless of the threshold setting is 0, 3, 7, 14, and 21-18 days. The exception is for the 0 and 3-day doses. |
For Montana Users:
The Bypass Consent permission and OPT_IN status both have an impact on whether the Vaccination Add/Edit/Forecast menu options are available when a patient has been selected. The table below shows the relationship.
Y

They also have full edit/delete permissions on vaccines entered by their Organization (IRMS) and vaccinations they enter do not appear as unverified. |
|
Do not take ownership when adding vaccinations |
By default, the facility takes ownership of the patient record when they administer a vaccination. Select this option to prevent the Organization (IRMS) from taking ownership if the record. Instead, ownership remains with the previous owning IRMS. Note that this option does not appear on the patient if the user does not have permission to make changes to records, if the IRMS is blocked from ownership, or if the logged-in user already owns the patient record. |

To add new vaccination information, you can select from the Documented By list and/or change the default date as needed. Double-click in the empty field next to a vaccine, in the correct column related to the dose number, to automatically add the date.
The Vaccination/Medicine Detail page opens after you click on a previously entered vaccination date to view the details of that vaccination, or when you enter a date into a blank field and click Add Administered. Only authorized users can edit and delete vaccination information, so some users may not see all of the buttons on this page.

There are three possible Smallpox Take Responses:
Adding Smallpox Take Responses is similar to adding vaccinations. On the Vaccination View/Add page, select the appropriate take response for the responder by selecting the checkbox to the left of the take response description.
In some states, contraindication recording is not available because it is considered a violation of privacy. To prevent patients who opt out of a specific vaccine from being forecasted and appearing on the reminder/recall list on the Contraindications page, the message Parent or Patient Refusal: Personal or Laboratory Evidence of Immunity appears instead of the actual contraindication text (or Vaccination Refusal).
Mississippi: The ability to record personal and religious exemptions has been removed specifically for the following: All vaccinations, both Parent or Patient Refusal: Personal and Parent or Patient Refusal: Religious were removed; Laboratory Evidence of Immunity was removed from all vaccinations except Varicella, Measles, Mumps, and Rubella; and Laboratory Evidence of Suppression was removed from Hep A and Hep A/Hep B.
Washington: Religious contraindications cannot be marked as permanent.
A patient's forecast updates immediately when adding or deleting contraindications. However, if global exemptions are enabled, the patients do not forecast.
When adding contraindications, the selected vaccine determines which valid reasons are listed.
In order for the Special Considerations button to display on the pages, the Administration > Settings > Properties > Vaccination Settings > Display Contraindications on Vacc View/Add Screen and Display Contraindications on Vacc Summary Screen options must be enabled (selected).
CASA only assesses coverage levels. Permanent contraindications and refusals are assessed as incomplete coverage for the specific antigen.

A patient can be deferred for a vaccination on the Vaccination View/Add page. Adding a vaccine deferral affects the reminder/recall. If a patient is not forecasted to receive the vaccine, they do not receive a reminder/recall for it. A report is available to retrieve all deferrals.
If a patient receives an administered vaccination in the family of the shot that was deferred, the deferral is automatically removed. If an administered vaccination matches a historical vaccination, the deferral is left in place.
Click the Deferrals button on the Vaccination View/Add page. The Vaccine Deferrals page opens. Enter the vaccine deferral information and click Save. Once a deferral is added, it can be deleted by clicking the Delete button for it.
