Support: Add Vaccinations
This is where you can add any vaccinations you have had.
- From Manage Health Records, click the Vaccinations link to go to the Vaccinations summary box
- Click Add Vaccinations to be taken to the Add new Vaccination form
- Or, select Never Vaccinated if you have never had any vaccinations.
Important: please read before completing your vaccinations:
For vaccinations that occurred in the past, you may not have details of the exact brand, vaccine variant or vaccine combination to hand. If that is the case, you may be able to contact your healthcare provider for a list - this is preferable. Alternatively, you can select an option with (Other) - for example 'DTP (Other)', by typing 'Other' into the search box, then selecting the closest matching vaccination.
For new vaccinations, it is important that you select the correct variant and brand - and if possible, the batch number. Ask your healthcare provider for these details when you attend.
