[MCOH-EH] Handheld registration scanners

[Hudson, T. Warner]

We bought and tried the Vacseen scanners but found them challenging with multiple nurses; we give about 15,000 vaccines in the month of October using many vaccinators in large mass vaccination events and have found iPads better for data entry; not scanning but electronic VIS, consent and we can e-mail documentation for those who need typically rotating at other hospitals.

Hello-

I am interested in hand held scanners used for mass vaccination programs.  Does anyone have recommendations for a reliable unit?

Thanks
