ℹ️ Introduction
This article explains how to use Ardens Manager to support childhood vaccination programmes. By the end of this article, you will be able to monitor vaccination activity, identify trends, and use reports to support service planning and quality improvement.
Background
Childhood vaccinations protect children from serious infectious diseases and are a key part of routine primary care. Monitoring delivery ensures high uptake, identifies children who have missed vaccines, and supports local immunisation targets.
How Ardens Can Help
Ardens Manager provides a dedicated Vaccination Dashboard to support practices in monitoring childhood vaccinations. The dashboard includes activity reports to track the number of vaccinations delivered for each vaccine type (e.g., MMR, DTaP/IPV/Hib, MenB).

🔍 Monitor Activity
The dashboard provides activity reports for each vaccine type, giving a high-level overview of delivery within your organisation.
Use this section to:
Monitor total vaccinations delivered for each vaccine
Identify gaps in delivery by age group or scheduled dose
Highlight trends over time, such as periods of lower uptake or seasonal variation
Compare delivery across different vaccine types to focus on underperforming programmes
This data can inform service planning, staff allocation, and targeted communications to support high coverage.
❓FAQs

How can this data support planning?
Insights from the reports can inform staff allocation, catch-up programmes, and targeted communications.
Can I compare performance between vaccine types?
Yes, reviewing delivery across vaccines highlights areas needing focus and helps prioritise resources.
