Recording Vaccinations Not on the Schedule

This method of recording vaccinations for children uses the same window as that for adults, as opposed to the National Immunisation Program Schedule window. Vaccinations recorded using this method will not appear on the child's National Immunisation Program Schedule window. However, they will be visible on the child's Immunisation tab in their record.
