Managing vaccines is an integral part of a Pediatric Medical practice while becoming more important for many other Medical Specialties and Healthcare facilities.Vaccine management has taken a quantum leap over the last few years by providing a system that standardizes and simplifies the work processes of Medical Practices and Healthcare Facilities. Many Pediatric and other Medical Practices are still using either a paper process or a manual process for inventory management and recording administration of vaccines. These manual processes take hours of time each month and most have problems with accuracy and consistency. Previously, some of the solutions on the market either provided a complex, time-intensive vaccine management process and/or the solution provided was very costly to the office.

Online vaccine management is a web-based system that streamlines the workflow of vaccine management for Medical Facilities including managing inventory of vaccines and administering the vaccines.Practices should be able to easily track vaccines from arrival to the office/medical facility until the vaccine is administered to a patient. This includes being able to identify the exact patients that a vaccine shipment was administered to.
