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 → Medicine Inventory. Add each vaccine product you use: the product name, manufacturer, the disease it targets, and the withdrawal period (check the product insert). This creates your vaccine catalogue.

Step 2: Create vaccination plans

Go to Health → Vaccination Plans → New Plan. Give it a name (e.g. "Cattle Annual Programme"). Add the vaccines in sequence with their target intervals. 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 to the plan

From the Vaccination Plans page, select your plan and click Assign Animals. You can assign all animals, a specific species/breed, animals in a paddock, or individual animals. Each assigned animal now has a calculated due date for every vaccine in the plan.

Step 4: Record the first vaccination

When you vaccinate, record it against the plan — either from the animal profile, from the batch record, or via the mobile app. The system marks that dose as complete, calculates the withdrawal end date, and sets the next due date for the subsequent dose.

Viewing what's due

The Health → Due Today view shows every animal with a vaccine or treatment due within the next 7 days. The dashboard morning summary also includes urgent health items. You'll never need to manually check a calendar again.

Cold-chain records

Vaccines must be stored between 2°C and 8°C. For each batch of vaccines you purchase, record the fridge temperatures at delivery, storage, and point of use. FuroTrack has a Cold Chain Log section under Health that links to the vaccine batch numbers used in each vaccination event — completing the audit trail.
