Thanks for the data elements reminder !

I'll add dose/unit and the body site. It would be great to have a
selection list to choose from, instead of a free text entry.

I'm also adding the field to keep the scanned or picture of the vaccine
label, for the record.

We should think about the "diseases protected against", since most
vaccines have the etiological agent to protect against in the name, and
when they don't they are specific on the disease.

Sure ! 
I am adding also the signature process, similar to the patient
evaluation model.

Also, the Decision Support for immunizations is pretty much done. It
takes the vaccination schedule, the patient age and her / his
immunization history, and shows the status for that specific age.

By the way, take a look at the latest tweets on GNU Health
( https://twitter.com/gnuhealth )  where I put a screenshot.
Pediatricians and GPs will be quite happy with this functionality :)

Let me know your thoughts.

Best,
Luis
