- Several states are now requiring that a flu shot be offered to all residents.
- Many communities offer this to their residents proactively as well.

Step 3 – Click on the “ADD TO PLAN” Button – A new row, displaying today’s date, will be added to the screen.
Step 4 – Click on the “EDIT INFO” Button on the right side of the new row
Step 5 – In the “NEED/PROBLEM” Field, either select one of the “Flu” selections from the drop-down menu OR begin typing the word “Flu” and the selections will be displayed.
Step 6 – Click on the appropriate selection for your situation. Either:
- “Flu Shot Offered” or
- “Flu Shot Taken”
Step 7 – Complete the remaining fields, as needed
Step 8 – If appropriate, click the “ADD INTERVENTION” Button to enter information for “GOALS” and “INTERVENTIONS”.
