CVMS Offline Operations – How to Proceed

Users might not always have access to the CVMS Provider Portal. Occasionally, CVMS will undergo temporary maintenance and be offline, or users might be unable to access a connected device. This should not prevent providers from administering vaccines, but vaccination records must be maintained, and later, when possible, the missing records should be added to the CVMS Provider Portal.

Please download the following printable files:

For the vaccine inventory levels, a team member must capture the required data elements identified in CVMS Inventory Levels Form. This form also mirrors the user experience of CVMS. Providers should enter the data captured offline into the CVMS as soon as possible when the CVMS is back online or providers have access to a connected device.
