Patients complete these forms in advance to provide key details about their health background, allergies, and upcoming travel plans.

This documentation supports personalized counselling, safe prescribing, and adherence to travel medicine best practices.

Each section allows:
Selecting recommend or prescribe
Entering quantity, repeats, and directions
Adding comments or special instructions
If a specific vaccine or medication is not listed, pharmacists can click Add Vaccine to create a custom recommendation or prescription.

The Pharmacist Certification section confirms all recommendations are made within the pharmacist’s scope of practice. Pharmacists complete this step by:
Checking the certification box
Signing electronically
Entering their license number
In the Vaccine Administration section, record all vaccine details including:
Condition, rationale, lot number, DIN, expiry date, route, and injection site
