Vaccine Advertisement

If the organization/facility Allow Transfers option and the Administration > Settings > Properties > Vaccine Management > Enable Vaccine Advertisement option are enabled, authorized users can advertise vaccines to other organizations/facilities that might have a greater need for them. The other organizations/facilities can then request that the advertised vaccines be transferred to them. Authorized users can also request that specific vaccines be transferred to their own facility.

Both the advertised vaccines available for transfer to the facility and the advertisements posted by the facility are displayed on the Advertisement Listing: Vaccines Available for Transfer tab section on the Orders and Transfers page. To access the information, click the Orders & Returns > Orders & Transfers menu link, and then click the Advertisement Listing tab.

View/Request Advertised Vaccines

To view the list of advertised vaccines, click the Orders & Returns > Orders & Transfers menu link, and then click the Advertisement Listing: Vaccines Available for Transfer tab.

If the Restrict Transfer Distance property is set, the advertised vaccines listed are the ones available within the configured distance range. Advertised vaccines available outside of the configured distance are not displayed in the list. Otherwise, if the property is not set, all advertised vaccines are listed.

To search for a specific vaccine, either enter the first few characters in the search box (after which the list narrows to display only the vaccines that contain those characters in one of the fields), or click the Vaccine column header to sort the list alphabetically.

To request a vaccine, locate the vaccine in the list and enter the number of needed doses in the Requested Doses field. Note that the number of requested doses cannot exceed the number of available doses. Select as many vaccines as required and click Request Transfer at the bottom of the page. The Submit Transfer Confirmation window opens; review the information and click Submit. The transfer request is submitted for approval and a confirmation pop-up appears; click Confirm.
