Immunizations Setup

Use the Health Setup Immunizations tab to define vaccines for which you want to record immunization information, exemption types, which may be used to indicate the reason an individual is exempt from vaccination, and certificates types, which may be used to indicate the source of information from which immunization information was obtained. Defined values appear on the student Health page Immunizations tab.
