ℹ️ Introduction
This article explains how to use Ardens Manager to support Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccination campaigns. By the end of this article, you will be able to monitor uptake, identify eligible patients, and support targeted invitations.
Background
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that can cause severe illness in older adults and vulnerable patients. Vaccination programmes aim to protect those most at risk and reduce seasonal pressures on healthcare services.
How Ardens Can Help
Ardens Manager provides a dedicated Vaccination Dashboard to support practices in managing their RSV vaccination programme.
The dashboard is structured into key areas:
Overview – Monitor invitations sent, and patients who have declined or are contraindicated
Performance Indicators – Track uptake by age group and clinical risk
