Record a Vaccination and Issue a Rabies Certificate

Rabies Compliance creates a certificate record and a linked Vaccine entry in the animal’s clinical history. A generic vaccine note does not necessarily create the compliance certificate.

Before you beginOpen Compliance → Rabies Compliance. Have the animal, provider, vaccine details, lot, vaccination date, and approved duration information available.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Select Record Rabies and confirm Animal. Review the Owner / responsible person associated with the animal.
  2. Enter Rabies tag and choose Vaccine duration. Confirm Vaccinated date and Expiration / next due against the applicable provider documentation.
  3. Enter Vaccine / product, Manufacturer, Lot / serial, Veterinarian / provider, Provider license number, and appropriate Notes.
  4. If deducting stock, enable Deduct vaccine from inventory. Select the appropriate Inventory item, Stock location, quantity, and any lot selection required. Inventory becomes authoritative for product, manufacturer, and lot information.
  5. Review Create rabies vaccination charge and Fee item. Decide according to organization policy; a vaccination entry and payment are separate events.
  6. Select Record & Issue Certificate when all required information is correct. Review the resulting certificate number, tag, dates, status, and linked medical entry.
  7. Use Document in the rabies register to review the generated certificate and any signature/finalization requirements before providing an official copy.
