Setting Up Your Vaccination Schedule

Understanding how vaccination plans work in FuroTrack

A vaccination plan is a named schedule that defines: which disease you're vaccinating against, which vaccine product to use, the dose and route, and the interval between doses. Once a plan is set up, FuroTrack tracks due dates for every animal or batch automatically.

Step 1: Add your vaccines to the medicine list

Go to Health → Vaccine Stock (Stock tab). Add each vaccine product you use: the product name, manufacturer, lot number, supplier, and storage location. This creates your on-farm vaccine inventory.

Step 2: Create vaccination plans

Go to Health → Vaccination Plans (Plans tab). Give it a name (e.g. "Cattle Annual Programme"). Add the vaccines in sequence with their target intervals and label withdrawal days. For example:

• Lumpy skin disease — annual, booster at 12 months
• Anthrax — annual (endemic areas only)
• Blackleg — 6-monthly
• Brucellosis (heifers) — once, at 4–8 months of age

Step 3: Assign animals or batches (optional)

Open a plan on Health → Plans and use Assign to limit the schedule to specific animals, batches, farm sites, or species. When assignments exist, due dates apply only to those subjects — useful when different groups follow different programmes.

Step 4: Let due dates build from your plans

When animals match a vaccination plan's species (and any assignments), FuroTrack recommends due doses automatically. Open Health → Due to see plan-based doses not yet recorded, upcoming boosters, and active withdrawal periods.

Step 5: Record the first vaccination

When you vaccinate, record it from the animal profile, the Health workspace, or the mobile app. The system marks that dose complete, calculates the withdrawal clearance date from the label days or plan, and sets the next due date for the subsequent dose.

Viewing what's due

Go to Health and open the Due tab to see animals or batches with vaccines or treatments due within the next 7 days. The Command Centre morning summary also includes urgent health items.

Cold-chain records

Vaccines must be stored between 2°C and 8°C. Click a lot on Health → Stock to log delivery, storage, or point-of-use temperature readings. Out-of-range readings flag the lot as compromised. You can also configure a vaccine fridge sensor under Monitoring → Telemetry — telemetry breaches flag affected lots the same way, and vaccinations using a compromised lot are marked with a cold-chain warning — completing the audit trail from sensor or manual log to dose.
