 Doses for Series

Field Name

Description

Seq

This field displays the numbered sequence of the dose in the series.

Min Age

The 'Min Age' is the minimum age a client can receive this dose for the specified vaccine making the dose valid. If the dose is administered before the minimum age, the dose will become invalid.

Min Rec Age

The 'Min Rec Age' is the minimum recommended age a client can receive this dose for the specified vaccine making the dose valid.

Min Overdue Age

The 'Min Overdue Age' is the minimum overdue age a client can receive this dose for the specified vaccine making the dose valid. If the dose is administered after this age, the dose will become invalid.

Min Interval Between

The 'Min Interval Between' field specifies the minimum interval between doses in days, months, or years for the specified vaccine. If this interval is not met then the next dose will become invalid.

Rec Interval Between

The 'Rec Interval Between' field specifies the recommended interval between doses in days, months, or years for the specified vaccine.

Overdue Interval Between

The 'Overdue Interval Between' field specifies the overdue interval between doses in days, months, or years. If the dose is administered after the interval, the dose will become invalid.

Max Age

The 'Max Age' field specifies the maximum age a client can receive the dose and still make it a valid dose. This is specified in days, months, or years.

Maximum Age Exceeded

The recommendations for vaccines now reflects whether a client has exceeded the maximum age or maximum doses for a specific vaccine. For instance, if a client has already reached the age of 5 and hasn't received any PCV (Prevnar), then the recommendation for PCV at the bottom of the immunization history will show "Maximum Age Exceeded" and the client will not show on reminder reports as needing that immunization.

Early Completion Age

The 'Early Completion Age' field specifies the minimum age at which a client can complete the series with this dose. This is specified in days, months, or years.
