Florida SHOTS™: Keeping SHOTS in Check

You already know Florida SHOTS saves you time when you search, certify, and print 680s electronically. But did you know that the registry provides the only electronic D.H. Form 680 authorized by Florida law?* Use Florida SHOTS as your one-stop resource for your practice’s electronic immunization data.

Link your software to the registry through data upload and automatically import shot records and vaccination histories to Florida SHOTS. Then make sure when it’s time to print you use a state-issued D.H. Form 680—the only blue form accepted statewide for entry to school and other childcare programs. Your patients will thank you!

* Legal Authority: Sections 1003.22, 402.305, 402.313, Florida Statutes; rules 64D-3.046, 65C-20.011, Florida Administrative Code

Healthcare providers aren’t the only ones who benefit from Florida SHOTS’ electronically-certified DH680. Schools that are enrolled can easily access student immunization records to get a child into the classroom fast.

Do you have everything on your back-to-school checklist?

• DH Form 680s (Blue Cards)
• Patient shot records in Florida SHOTS
• Ability to electronically-certify Form 680s

When you put everything together, you’re all set for a great start for school registrations. Order Form 680s from the Florida Department of Health Distribution Center. Order instructions are on the Florida SHOTS Resources tab. When your patient (or their parents) lets you know that they need a Blue Card, check Florida SHOTS to see if their record is already online. If it’s not, take just a few moments to update the patient’s record. You can then easily generate an electronically-certified Form 680 in SHOTS. This process eliminates the need for handwritten forms and a handwritten signature allowing you to help more patients faster than ever.

People are in and out of jobs so quickly. A new job offer comes along and they’re out the door. But also going out the door is their ability to access confidential patient information. As people come and go, it is important to maintain accountability in Florida SHOTS. The administrator on your Florida SHOTS account has the authority and responsibility to allow and disallow access to users on the personnel list. Adding and inactivating users is an easy process and only takes a few clicks of the mouse.
