| Dose Constraints Screen |
|
Purpose |
Dose Constraints are used for a series where there are two non-adjacent or non-consecutive doses in the series that require a longer length of time in between doses than specified in the Manage Doses screen. Hepatitis B is a perfect example because there must be at least four months in between the first and third doses. This type on Dose Constraint can be specified within this screen.
