Enhancements
Feature | Description |

Rules Engine Update - Ability to Highlight Problematic Dose | The Immunization Rules Engine can now highlight the specific vaccination dose that marks a student as not compliant. State compliance vaccination rules must be updated to take advantage of this functionality.
