The Student Profile enables school administrators to track each student's immunization records. Brightwheel has created this table in accordance with the CDC's recommendations. That said, we have set up this feature to empower users to tailor the immunization settings to only display the immunizations that your program collects and tracks.
Please Note: The student must have a birthday entered to have the immunization table display.

Immunization Settings
The immunizations table located in the student profile tracks past student immunization dates and calculates overdue and due vaccines based on CDC recommendations. You can adjust the settings to display only the immunization that your program tracks.
School Immunization Settings
To adjust the immunizations that display on the immunizations table:
Navigate to a student's profile
Scroll down to the Immunizations section and click Immunization Settings
Uncheck the box next to any immunization that you do not wish to track or display and click Apply
Please Note: These settings are school-wide, if you uncheck an immunization, it will no longer be displayed for any of your students.
Student Immunization Notes
In addition, brightwheel allows administrators to mark a specific student as Exempt or set them on a Catch-up Schedule. This is also a great place to add any additional notes.
To update these settings:
Navigate to the student's profile
Scroll down to the Immunizations section and click Edit in the top right hand corner of the Notes box
Check the relevant box and/or add your notes and click Save
Recording Immunizations
Administrators in brightwheel can add immunization dates to a student's profile at any time. At the top of the Immunization section for each student, there will be a list of due and overdue doses according to the student's birthday and the CDC's recommended schedule. These will also appear on the table as green or red boxes respectively.
To add the dates of immunizations:
Navigate to the student's profile
Scroll down to the Immunizations section and click Edit All Dates located in the top right hand corner of the immunizations table
Use the date picker or enter dates in a mm/dd/yyyy format
Once all the dates have been entered click Done
Due: Many immunizations have a recommended timeframe that the student should receive that dose. Once a student has aged into that timeframe you will notice there will be a green Due box appear.
Past Due: Once a student has aged past the lated recommended age for a specific immunization dose the box will change to the red Overdue box.
Skip Dosage: Each immunization dose has the option to Skip, just check this box and it will no longer appear as due or overdue on any of your reports.
