Maintain vaccine entries with dose, booster intervals, storage, and regulatory info.
Overview
The Vaccine Catalog is your master list of vaccines by species, manufacturer, and properties. It records default/min/max dose, booster interval, administration route, storage/handling, regulatory approvals, costs, and product links. These definitions power accurate vaccination records and automatic next‑due dates.
- Clinical safety: Clear dosage and route reduce administration errors.
- Regulatory readiness: Approval, lot, and expiry data support audits.
- Operational control: Usage counts, last used, and frequency inform reordering.
How It Works
- Create vaccines with code, species, and priority.
- Enter dosage (default/min/max) and route (e.g., subcutaneous).
- Track batch, expiry, and set alerts for expiring soon.
