⚡ Facility Quick-Start

⚡ New to VaxPlan? This quick-start covers the essential steps for facility staff to get up and running in minutes.

VaxPlan — Facility Staff Quick-Start

Pin this card next to your workstation. It covers the things
you'll do most days as a facility clerk or in-charge.

1. Sign in

  • Open the VaxPlan link your administrator gave you.
  • Click Sign in and complete your organisation's login.
  • The first time, you'll land on your facility's dashboard
automatically.

  • Change your password anytime: click your name (top-right) →
Change password. Forgot it? Use Forgot password? on the

sign-in screen and your admin will help.

2. Add a community (village)

  • Sidebar → FacilitiesCommunities tab → Add Community.
  • Your facility is pinned automatically — you can't pick another.
  • Enter the name, then set the location: drop a single pin, or
use Draw Polygon Mode to trace the catchment boundary on the map.

  • Save. If your boundary overlaps another community, a
Catchment overlap panel appears — click Request harmonization

to flag it and email the other facility's in-charge.

You can add communities, but only coordinators/admins can add a new
health facility — that button won't show for you.

3. Build a quarterly microplan

  • Sidebar → Microplans → Routine
  • New microplan → pick the quarter and year.
  • Tick the villages your facility will serve.
  • Confirm the target population (Registered / WorldPop / Manual).
  • Confirm the antigens to offer.
  • Declare outreach sessions per village per month.
  • Save as draft or Submit for approval.

4. Plan the session days (itinerary)

  • Open a session → Add Vaccination Session Itinerary Day.
  • Enter the lead vaccinator's name, a date at least 7 days ahead,
the target population, and tick at least one community.

  • The Calculated Vaccine Supplies panel estimates realistic doses per
antigen (target × doses-per-child × wastage) — ~50 children gives tens of

doses, not thousands.

  • If a day won't save, the message names the field to fix.

Tip: From All sessions → calendar, "Plan a session on this day" opens
the New Session form (not the microplan wizard) with the date filled in.

5. Run a session in the field

  • Sidebar → Sessions → find today's session.
  • Start session (works offline).
  • Add client for each child or pregnant woman vaccinated.
- Pick antigens administered; the next-due dose is preselected.

  • When done, Mark session done → confirm counts → Submit.
  • Sync when you're back in range (cloud icon, top-right).

6. Follow up defaulters

  • Sidebar → CoverageUnder-immunised list.
  • Click a child to see their history.
  • Click Create defaulter follow-up session to schedule outreach.

7. Track stock

  • Sidebar → Stock.
  • Enter Receipts when supply arrives.
  • Issues are auto-recorded when you close a session.
  • At month-end, review and submit the Monthly stock summary.


Daily checklist

  • [ ] Open today's sessions before leaving for outreach.
  • [ ] Capture clients during the session (offline is fine).
  • [ ] Mark session done before packing up.
  • [ ] Tap the sync badge (top-right) to sync when back in cellular range.
  • [ ] Skim the Under-immunised list weekly for defaulters.
  • [ ] Submit the Monthly stock summary on the last working day.

Good to know. When you're online, the app updates on its own
within seconds if anything changes for your facility — no need to
refresh. You only ever see your own facility's data. If a newer
version of the app is published, a banner appears at the top: tap
Reload in the browser, or Download update in the Windows /
Android app, to get the latest features (your data keeps syncing
either way).
