Recording vaccinations

Recording a vaccination (or non-vaccination)

To record a vaccination (or a vaccination that did not happen), follow the instructions below.

The Record vaccinations tab only shows children who have consent to be vaccinated, have been triaged as safe to vaccinate (if triage was necessary) and are registered as attending the session (if you’re using registration).

Select the child and programme

  1. Go to Sessions.
  2. Filter for In Progress sessions.
  3. Find the relevant session and select it.
  4. Select the Record vaccinations tab. A list of children’s names is displayed - you can use filters to narrow the list.
  5. Select the name of the child in front of you.
Note:

If you’re offering more than one vaccination programme at this session, make sure you select the relevant programme tab, near the top of the screen.

Review the child’s details and do pre-screening checks

Once you’ve reviewed the information on the page, you’ll need to confirm the child’s identity and carry out pre-screening checks.

  1. Select the relevant radio button to state whether the child or someone else confirmed their identity.
  2. If it was someone else, enter their name and relationship to the child.
  3. Run through the pre-screening checks and confirm you’ve checked the statements are correct. You can add notes if you want to.
  4. Indicate whether you think the child is ready to vaccinate using the radio buttons at the bottom of the page.

Mavis will ask a series of pre-screening questions before you record a vaccination.

Record the outcome

If the child was vaccinated:

  1. Use the relevant radio buttons to record how the vaccination was given.
  2. Record the batch you used, then click Continue.
  3. Check and confirm your answer, and add notes if you want to.
  4. Make any changes (if necessary) and click Confirm.

If the child was not vaccinated:

  1. Use the relevant radio button to record why the vaccine was not given, then Continue.
  2. Check and confirm your answer, and add notes if you want to.
  3. Make any changes (if necessary) and click Confirm.

Keeping track of your vaccinations
