Registry Vaccine Family Settings

This option is used to enter vaccine families and configure options that appear in the application. Measles, Mumps, and Rubella require separate forecasting logic when administered independently. They are treated as a separate family. Therefore, if MMR and Measles are entered on the same day, entry is not refused. Instead, when Measles and Rubella are administered on the same day a message appears indicating, A vaccination from the same family as Rubella (and/or Measles) was entered for the same day.

To access these options, click the Administration > Settings > Registry Vaccine Family Settings link. The Registry Vaccine Family Settings page opens, with the following fields and columns. After configuring the options, click Update.

Column/Field	Description
Vaccine Family	Each of the available vaccine families is listed on a separate line in this column.
Include in Forecast and Reminder Recall	Select the option in this column to include the vaccine family in forecasting and reminder/recall.
Vaccination Grace Period	Select the numeric value from the drop-down list to represent the vaccination grace period (the window of time for vaccination administrations to occur).
Maximum Patient Age	In this column are a textbox, a drop-down list, and two radio buttons. Enter the patient's age in the first textbox, then select Days, Months or Years from the drop-down list. Select either the All radio button (default) or Dose 1: All - All doses. Once the patient reaches the maximum age, the forecast is no longer displayed. If the patient is given any doses from the vaccine, they still reflect as valid or invalid based on the current forecast calculations. If the patient has received any portion of a series, subsequent doses do not forecast after the maximum age. Dose 1 - Once the patient reaches the age specified, Dose 1 of the forecast is suppressed. If Dose 1 is administered, the rest of the schedule is forecast, regardless of the patient's age.
