Managing Additional Vaccine Indicator
Add or remove the special risk group indicator for patients requiring additional vaccines
The additional vaccine indicator identifies patients who require vaccines beyond the standard NIP schedule due to medical conditions, occupational risk, or other special risk factors.
What It Does
When set, the indicator:
- Flags the patient as belonging to a special risk group

When to Set
- Patient has medical conditions requiring additional vaccines (e.g., immunocompromised)
