From the student's profile, click the Immunizations tab.
Understand the Immunization Tab
At the top of the Immunization tab, you'll find a summary of the student's immunization status, including completed, upcoming, exempt, and overdue immunizations. Below the summary, you'll see detailed records of specific immunizations and dosages. All immunization due dates are based on the student’s birthday and the schedule your program has set, whether you’re using the CDC guidelines or a customized version.
Customize Your Immunization Schedule
Immunization tracking in Playground is designed to follow CDC guidelines by default. However, you have the option to customize the immunization schedule to match your specific state requirements, licensing rules, or internal policies. If your program needs different age ranges, additional doses, or optional requirements, you can adjust the schedule accordingly.
To update your immunization schedule, go to the Settings on the dashboard, in the General tab then under the Center section, click Edit immunization schedules to open the full schedule editor.
Within the editor, you can adjust each vaccine individually. You’re able to add additional doses, remove doses that don’t apply to your program, and modify the age ranges for when a dose is required. You can also mark individual doses as optional or make an entire vaccine optional, depending on how your program tracks compliance.
Each dose allows you to set a minimum and maximum age in either months or years. This gives you the flexibility to align deadlines with your state’s expectations while still keeping everything organized inside Playground.
If at any time you need to return to the standard CDC structure, you can select Reset to CDC guidelines. This restores the original default schedule.
