    About this task

    Vaccine and vaccine booster reporting requires Vaccine response definition records. Each record contains vaccine-specific information so that users can properly report their vaccination status with the correct type of vaccine. For example, you can create a record for single-dose or multi-dose vaccine and set the number of days between doses. These configurations determine the questions users must answer when reporting their vaccination. Vaccination Status contains several generic COVID-19 vaccines that do not require configuration.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Vaccination status > Vaccine response definitions.
    2. Click New or open a record.
    3. On the form, fill in the fields.
