For certain situations, you may need to administer an immunization for a vaccine that may not be in your practice's Vaccine Inventory. For example, a patient has been bitten by a rabid animal.
From the Orders module, select Immunization Order from the New Order list.
On the Select Vaccines tab, select Search All and search for the specific vaccine.
The vaccine displays in the search results. For example, if you searched on rabies, vaccines for rabies appear.
Select the appropriate vaccine and select OK, and then view and select an Allergy, if necessary.
To administer the Immunization, select the Vaccine Details tab.
Enter the Lot Number and NDC ID in the NDC ID field.
Note: The caution indicator displays, which indicates the NDC ID for this rabies vaccine is not in the NDC Library.
To verify if any NDC entries exist for this vaccine, select the ellipsis to access the NDC Lookup.
No NDC ID codes appear for the CPT in the NDC lookup, indicating there is no valid record in the NDC Library.
On the Vaccine Details tab, complete any other appropriate fields, such as Route.
When you complete the Immunization administration, the system updates the status to Administered or Partially Administered.
Select Save.
The vaccine now displays in the Chart view. The system also updates the NDC Library with the Rabies vaccine NDC ID and details to be used for billing.
