Florida SHOTS™: Keeping SHOTS in Check

At Florida SHOTS, we work hard to get you the help you need, when you need it. That’s why we’ve created a new version of the Florida SHOTS Quick Tips guide specifically for view-only accounts (and made it available in Spanish)!

These guides give you quick access to our most frequently asked questions surrounding the following topics:

• Logging in
• Forgotten Password
• Main Menu Functions
• Entering Vaccines (for full-access accounts only)
• D.H. Form 680
• Adding & Deleting Personnel

Quick Tips guides for full-access accounts have been created in English and Spanish as well. A complete user guide and Web-based training can be located under “Customer Support” from the registry’s sidebar menu. You may want to print out a copy of the user guide for easy reference. Free web-based training is available 24 hours a day.

We know your time is valuable. That’s why we’ve created the Florida SHOTS Shortcut Guide. This great reference tool gives you quick access to the Vaccine Information Table and our most frequently asked questions.

If you’re looking for more extensive information about Florida SHOTS, you can download a copy of our complete user guide, which can be accessed through the Customer Service menu once you have logged into your account, or participate in our Web-based training.

Reminder Recall is one of the many Florida SHOTS™ tools that help you boost immunization levels in your practice. With Florida SHOTS, your office can run reports that show a list of your patients who are due or overdue for immunizations.

Reminder Recall allows you to sort and store shot records in a variety of ways (e.g., by type of shot) and print patient information on mailing labels to send reminder notices to parents specifying the shot that is due or overdue.

Can you believe it? We’ve now topped 50 million shot records that have been added to the registry via data upload, a process that exports immunization information from current electronic files and transfers it for import into the Florida SHOTS registry.

Interested in learning more about how your practice management or EMR software could be set up to upload shot data to the registry? Call 877-888-SHOT for more information.

Florida SHOTS is growing and expanding in reach, services, and capabilities. Over the past year, Florida SHOTS has introduced a blog, H1N1 vaccination ordering, and much more. As the year begins, we would like to share all the ways we are committed to helping you maximize Florida SHOTS’ shot-tracking tools. Whether you need in-depth training or some quick tips, we’ve got a variety of helpful resources to assist you, including 24/7 web-based training and user guides and an online blog and forum for Florida SHOTS users. As always, all tools, web-based training, and help desk support are free.
