This template supports core contractual services, including:
Childhood immunisation coverage targets
QOF indicator VI002: Ensuring children receive vaccinations on time
NHS England KPIs and local enhanced services that audit timely administration
Accurate coding of immunisations ensures appropriate funding, supports public health surveillance, and protects children from preventable disease.
This template helps record:
Administered vaccines by type and date
Any declines, exceptions, or delays
Relevant information such as batch number, expiry date, and site
It aligns with the national childhood immunisation schedule and ensures timely documentation of each vaccine encounter.
This structured template includes:
Separate fields for:
6–8 week vaccinations (e.g. DTaP/IPV/Hib/HepB, MenB, Rotavirus, PCV)
12 weeks, 16 weeks, and 1-year boosters
MMR, MenC, and Preschool boosters
Vaccine selection drop-downs (SNOMED-coded)
Entry fields for:
Batch number
Expiry date
Route and site (e.g. IM, SC; left/right thigh)
Tickboxes or fields to record:
Parent declined vaccine
Child medically excluded or previously vaccinated elsewhere
Space to indicate:
Reason for delay
Alternate date scheduled
Catch-up vaccine notes
Always ensure the SNOMED code used matches the vaccine brand/product administered — this is essential for claims
When a vaccine is declined, record both the decline code and any discussions held
If a child is overdue, use the template to create a clear plan for recall and rebooking
This form may be used in conjunction with recall searches or population health tools to monitor uptake
Use batch and expiry recording to align with Green Book guidance and vaccine safety protocols
