You can hide pediatric vaccine recommendations from displaying for adult patients over 18 years of age. When you select this practice preference, the Immunizations module displays the following information.
- The Chart View displays:
- All vaccines on a patient's chart (pediatric or adult)
- All vaccines recommended for adults only (up until patient's age)
- Status of adult vaccines only
- The Recommendation View displays:
- All vaccines recommended for adults only
- Status of adult vaccines only
- The Create New Immunization Order window displays:
- All vaccines set up in the Vaccine favorites (in File Maintenance)
- Status of adult vaccines only.
Note: For the Tdap vaccine only, the system does not consider the Ignore Pediatric Recommendation for Adults practice preference when calculating the Tdap Immunization status for adults or patients 11 years of age and older.
