Creating & Managing Vaccines in Inventory

If you run an animal rescue or shelter where you store and administer some of the animals’ vaccinations yourself, TTR provides this Customization feature to save you keystrokes when entering those vaccinations in animal records. In TTR’s Shelter Vaccines list, you can keep a record of the kind of vaccine, the Animal Type for which the vaccine is intended, and the vaccine’s manufacturer, serial number, and expiration date.

In this image of the Vaccination screen you will use to enter vaccinations for specific animals, the area highlighted by the red rectangle shows how this Customization feature applies:
