Managing your clinic vaccine list (new prescriber)

Note: This information applies to the new prescriber (see New prescriber).

If a vaccine you want is not available in the vaccine list, you can add it if you have administrator authority in Wolf EMR. You can also modify vaccines that are already on your clinic’s list, for example, you can:

Modify vaccine names.

Set a default route and a default dosage for a vaccine. This way, when the vaccine is recorded in patient charts, the Route and Dosage fields are populated automatically.

Configure vaccines to display in CDM flowsheets using CDM codes.

Steps

From the Wolf EMR home page, click Configuration

From the Configuration window menu, click View > Patient Data Codes > Vaccination Types > Vaccination Type Maintenance. The Vaccine Type Maintenance window opens.

Perform one of the following actions:

If you are adding a vaccine, at the top of the window, click .
