Dose-level eligibility requirements
Please route to:
 Clinical supervisor
 Medical director
 Clinic manager
 Clinic staff
 Pharmacy
 Vaccine staff
Beginning August 1, 2015 clinics that practice the replacement method of vaccine management will be
required to submit dose-level eligibility to MIIC for all vaccines administered to patients that are 18 years of
age or younger.
Two options to meet the requirement:
1. Electronically upload dose-level eligibility information into MIIC.

Talk with your electronic health record (EHR) staff and discuss how your clinic will be able to
submit dose-level eligibility information to MIIC. You’ll want to start having those conversations
soon.

For technical information about dose-level eligibility specifications visit:
www.health.state.mn.us/divs/idepc/immunize/registry/hp/reportdose.pdf.
OR
2. Manually enter dose-level eligibility information into MIIC.

Learn about manual entry of dose-level eligibility by reading the Oct. 7, 2014 MnVFC
announcement (www.health.state.mn.us/divs/idepc/immunize/mnvfc/bf7oct14.pdf).

Train your staff to enter dose-level eligibility in MIIC.
If your clinic does not begin submitting dose-level eligibility information to MIIC by Aug. 1, 2015, you will
need to switch to the separate stock method of vaccine management.
If you have questions, please contact the MnVFC program at 651-201-5522.
