  • Updated

Background

In order to record a vaccination on behalf of an immunizer, their name must appear in at least one of two lists within ImmsBC.

  • Users have ImmsBC accounts (with their own login + password), and are regularly using ImmsBC
  • Contacts are immunizers who do not currently have an active ImmsBC account.

 

Note: if Users are inactive for 3+ months, their accounts may be deprovisioned. Their names will no longer appear on the picklist. If this is the case, they can be added as a contact.

4. Enter the Contact Information and click Save.

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • BCH Designation: review the options in the drop-down menu carefully
    • If this is unknown, please ask the clinic coordinator or immunizer to confirm.
    • Users can also search the registries of the relevant profession (e.g. College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC or the BC College of Nurses & Midwives) to confirm professional designation
  • Email: please enter the immunizer's health authority or work email
    • This helps distinguish between immunizers with same or similar names
    • Many immunizers' emails will be listed in the employee directory: https://directory.healthbc.org/
