This screen will be displayed when the current user who selected the non historical immunization for editing does not belong to the provider organization that originally entered the immunization. The form will contain the exact same information as the Edit Immunization form, and will be displayed in the same layout.

Because the user does not belong to the provider organization that originally entered the selected immunization, none of the fields will be editable. The user will only be allowed to make entries or updates on any reactions which may have occurred.

The user will not have the option to delete the selected immunization.

At the bottom of the Non-Owned Immunization Screen contact information will be provided for the provider organization that originally entered the immunization. You are urged to contact the provider organization if there is any question about the immunization they have entered.

Back to Top

This screen will be displayed when the immunization selected for editing was recorded as a historical immunization on the patient's immunization history.

Vaccine Lot Number, Subpotent Dose, Date Provided, Provider Org Name, Source of Immunizaiton, and Disregard Primary Series information fields contained in the form are editable by any user belonging to any provider organization.

Any user belonging to any provider organization will have the option to delete the selected historical immunization.
