If they do not want the VIS, don't do anything, and it will default to declined VIS. If they want it, you have two options: You can check Accepted VIS and hand them a paper VIS you already have. Or, you can select: Print, then print current VIS. The VISs can be kept in a folder on the network. Each vaccine that has been configured has a browse button so you can browse to the VIS PDF. This will then show the path to the VIS in the vaccine window and will be remembered. You don't have to do it each time.

So, if you wish you can click on Print, then Print Current VIS, and it will print the PDF to whatever printer you chose as the default and record it as being accepted.

When a VIS is declined, it will not show it was accepted in the database. Any time you save a vaccine without checking or printing the VIS, a window will appear asking you if the patient really declined the VIS. If they did, you select yes, if they did not, select no. If you choose no, it will check the Accepted VIS box and save the vaccine (very quickly).

For some reason, when VIPER records a vaccine as declined VIS, it appears in red in AC. I am not sure why. It doesn't matter as far as logistics go. I guess if the VIS were more important (I find it ridiculous), then the red would be rather helpful.
