Set Up

1. Prescriber as Pharmacist Vaccinator

The administrator (Prescriber) of the flu vaccination should be set up in Toniq as a Pharmacist Vaccinator:

 

Note: The Registration number for a Pharmacist Vaccinator does not have a prefix

This may mean that a pharmacist is listed as a prescriber twice – once with their Professional group set to Pharmacist (and a hyphenated prefix on the Registration number) and the other set to Pharmacist Vaccinator.
