VOMS Organization/Facility Client User Guide (v. 2.26.0) |
If the organization/facility has the Allow transfers option enabled, authorized users can transfer vaccines from one organization/facility to another organization/facility that might have a greater need for them.
To begin the transfer process, click the Orders & Returns > Orders & Transfers menu link. The Orders and Transfers page opens. If vaccines are available for transfer, click the Advertisement Listing tab to view the list (see Vaccine Advertisement for more information).
To create a new transfer, click the New Transfer button toward the top of the page. The New Transfer page opens with the Transfer/Advertise toggle in the Transfer position.

To search for a vaccine, either click the Vaccine column header to sort the list alphabetically, or enter a few characters of the vaccine name or lot number in the Search Vaccines field. Locate the vaccine(s) to transfer in the list, enter the transfer quantities, and click Submit Transfer.
