Description:The Technical Implementation Guide: Vaccine Administration is intended for information technology (IT) personnel and/or electronic medical record (EMR) personnel who are assisting with the implementation of vaccine two-dimensional (2D) barcode scanning for vaccine administration in ambulatory clinics, health care facilities, and health systems. This Guide provides recommendations on technology needs and training drawn from pilot projects performed by CDC from 2011 to 2017 and additional information from the field.
It is important to note that a 2D barcode must be present on the vaccine’s primary packaging (e.g., the unit of use (UoU), vial, or syringe) to scan for vaccine administration. While 2D barcodes are mandatory on the vaccine secondary packaging, or unit of sale (UoS), the secondary packaging barcode is not needed while scanning for administration. Manufacturers are not required to add UoU barcodes to products, but an increasing number have added barcodes to the UoU packaging for the purpose of scanning upon administration.
