Purpose
Rabies certificates allow you to generate, track, and share proof of rabies vaccinations for patients. Certificates can be created automatically when a rabies vaccine is administered or manually when needed, ensuring accurate documentation and easy access for clients.
Automatic Rabies Certificates
To have certificates generated automatically:
Go to Admin → Products.
Select the rabies vaccine to edit.
Check the Rabies Vaccine checkbox.
Click Save.
Combo Vaccines
If you use a combination vaccine that includes rabies, you can also mark it as a Rabies Vaccine. This ensures certificates and reporting remain accurate.
Entering Rabies Tag Numbers
When administering a rabies vaccine:
Enter the tag number under Tx History or the invoice line item.
The rabies certificate will automatically populate with the tag number, ready to print or email.
Lot numbers and expiration dates configured during vaccine setup will also auto-populate on the certificate. These certificates can also be reviewed directly in the treatment history or printed and emailed for client convenience.
Printing with Invoices
In Admin → Clinic Settings → Financial Settings -> Invoice Settings, you can enable Include Rabies Certificates on Invoices. When enabled, certificates automatically print with invoices as a combined PDF.
Manual Rabies Certificates
To create a certificate manually:
Go to the Vaccinations tab on the patient profile.
Scroll to the Certifications section and select +Add Rabies Certificate.
Search for and select the rabies vaccine.
Vaccine details (lot, serial number, expiration date) will auto-populate.
Add a rabies tag number or note if needed.
Rabies Certificate Notes
You can set a default note to appear on all rabies certificates:
Go to Admin → Clinic Settings → Practice Management → Notes & Disclaimers.
Enter text in the Rabies Certificate field.
Click Save.
This note will automatically appear on every rabies certificate generated.
