Configure vaccine or vaccine booster types for Vaccination Status

Create or modify vaccine or vaccine booster types that people can use to report their vaccination status.

Before you begin

Role required: sn_imt_vaccine.admin

About this task

Vaccine and vaccine booster reporting requires Vaccine response definition records. Each record contains vaccine-specific information so that users can properly report their vaccination status with the correct type of vaccine. For example, you can create a record for single-dose or multi-dose vaccine and set the number of days between doses. These configurations determine the questions users must answer when reporting their vaccination. Vaccination Status contains several generic COVID-19 vaccines that do not require configuration.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > Vaccination status > Vaccine response definitions.

  2. Click New or open a record.

  3. On the form, fill in the fields.
