Pabau Vaccines: A smarter way to manage immunizations

Vaccines might seem straightforward at first glance.

One shot, a quick note, a reminder for the next. But clinics know it’s never that tidy.

Timelines shift, rules change, and patients often arrive unsure what’s on their record. Add in travel vaccines, annual boosters, and multi-stage courses, and vaccine management quickly becomes one of the most time-consuming parts of daily operations.

Most clinics try to keep up with a mix of spreadsheets, paper files, or systems that don’t connect, which only makes mistakes more likely. 

That’s why we’re bringing you… Pabau’s Vaccine Management! 🥳

With everything in one system, you’ll track doses, stay compliant, and save hours of admin each week. 

Now let’s take a closer look at what it’s all about.

Why better vaccine management improves safety and efficiency

For many clinics, the real challenge isn’t the vaccines themselves but the record-keeping that surrounds them. When tracking is done manually, problems start to stack up, like:

👉 Missed or delayed doses when schedules aren’t updated on time

👉 Batch numbers recorded inconsistently, or not at all

👉 Country guidelines changing faster than paper systems can keep up

👉 Hours lost to staff double-checking details across spreadsheets and files

Each of these slips has a knock-on effect. 

Miss a Hepatitis B follow-up, and the patient may need the whole course restarted. Record the wrong batch number and you’ll spend hours hunting through stock logs if there’s an audit or recall. When guidelines change, paper-based clinics are usually the ones stuck redrawing every single timeline by hand.

Travel health raises the stakes even higher.

According to the CDC’s Yellow Book: Health Information for International Travel, vaccines need to be given far enough in advance to provide full protection. Leave it too late and there’s a real risk the immunity won’t kick in before departure, exposing patients abroad. 

And it’s not only travel health where the risks show up. 

In everyday workflows, paper-based systems create delays and inconsistencies that drain staff hours. A 2023 study published in JMIR Formative Research found that clinics using electronic registries saved up to five minutes per patient visit compared with paper-based systems.

How vaccine management works in Pabau

Vaccine management shouldn’t feel like another admin project. With Pabau, it’s quick to set up and even quicker for your team to pick up.

Here’s the step-by-step flow:

  1. Enable the feature. Turn on the Vaccines module and the tools to schedule, track, and manage doses are ready to use.
  2. Add your vaccines. Log the vaccines your clinic offers so they’re always available when you’re booking or recording treatments.
  3. Link diseases. Tie each vaccine to the disease it protects against, keeping your schedules precise and your records crystal clear.
  4. Build your schedules. Map out first doses, follow-ups, and boosters on an automatically calculated timeline.
  5. Schedule and record. From a client’s record, set up their full course and log each dose with details like batch number, expiry, and site of administration.

That’s it! 

Once the setup is done, your team has everything ready to go in daily practice. Vaccines appear as options in the Client Card, timelines are auto-calculated, and every detail is logged directly into the patient’s records.
