2024 Templates

The two 2024 flu templates in Dispensary are the TQ Flu Vaccine Consent Form and TQ Flu Vaccine Eligibility Declaration:

How-Tos:

Set up the Prescriber

• Set up the administrator (Prescriber) of the flu vaccination as a Pharmacist Vaccinator in Dispensary:

• Note: The Registration number for a Pharmacist Vaccinator should not have a prefix.
  • A pharmacist may be in Toniq as a prescriber twice – once as a Pharmacist (with a hyphenated prefix on the Registration number) and as a Pharmacist Vaccinator.

Update the Service Pricing

For funded vaccinations to price correctly in Toniq, from the main menu, go to:

• 7. Administration,
• 1. Setup,
• 4. Standard price parameters,
• Press Check I/Net F4,
• Select ICPSA Contract variation 5 (from Dec 2024),
• Accept prompt advising new pricing and press F12 to save.

Dispense

• Process the script as per normal, with the Prescriber set as the pharmacist vaccinator.
• If the eligibility requirements are met, put the NSS Quantity as 0 (zero):
• 
  
• If the script is subsidised, a pharmacy prescription copy will always print (but not if it is NSS).
• Remember to dispense an administration or co-administration fee, as per the Immunisation-and-Co-Administration-Fees article.
• All Influenza vaccines must be loaded into the vaccination portal.

Report

The prescription details report can be used to find all patients who have had a flu vaccination. The report can be found in:

• 3. Reports > 2. Prescription reports > 2. Prescription details.
• Fill in the required Date Range (using F3 or entering the Start date and End date manually), and 
• Select the medicine (flu vaccination) that you want to report on.
• Optional: tick Patient Name order to format the report as shown below.
• Optional: tick Include Rx Notes/comment or Include Directions if batch, expiry, or location of administration was recorded in one of those fields and needs to be reported on.
