View the vaccine manufacturers list

Immunization is the process in which a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body's own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease.

A list of manufacturers of vaccines for the immunization process is available in the PM module. The immunization manufacturers list is populated with all FDA Food and Drug Administration-recognized immunization manufacturers, as-of the time of the list creation. The manufacturers in this list appear as menu options for the Manufacturer field, when you add or edit immunizations on the Settings > Immunizations screen.

While you can not add to or edit the items on the Settings > Immunization Manufacturer screen, you can disable ones that create vaccines your agency or department does not use. Disabled items do not appear as a menu option for the Manufacturer field.

Example: The manufacturers menu options you enable on the Settings > Immunization Manufacturers screen appear when you click the Manufacturer field in the PM module.

1. (If you have not done so already) Access the PM or PM Basic module in the ESO Suite.

   Which version of the module opens depends on whether your agency or department has purchased the PM Basic or full version of the PM module.

   1. Do one of the following.

      • (If you are already working in the ESO Suite) Click the Home icon in the upper left corner of the screen.

        

      • (If you have not yet logged in) Log in to the ESO Suite.

        1. In a web browser, go to https://www.esosuite.net/EsoSuite.

           The ESO Suite login screen appears.

        2. Enter your user name, password, and agency name, then click Let's Go.

           If MFA multi-factor authentication is enabled, the Multi-factor authentication dialog box appears, displaying one or more methods you can use to verify your login credentials. The number of methods that appear in the dialog box depends on what MFA methods your ESO Suite administrators enabled in the Admin module.

           Click graphics to open them.

           Information on enabling MFA and specific MFA methods is available in the Admin module online help, in Configure multiple-factor authentication.

           Note: If your ESO Suite administrators have disabled MFA ("opted-out"), this dialog does not appear.

        3. (If the Multi-factor authentication dialog box appears) Depending on which buttons appear in the dialog box, verify your login in one of the following ways.

           With an authenticator application.

           1. Click MFA verification via authenticator app.

              The dialog box updates with boxes for entering the numbers of the authentication code, and the ESO Suite sends an authentication code to the authenticator application installed on your device.

              

           2. Open your authenticator application and note the authentication code currently displayed.

           3. Enter the authentication code displayed in the authenticator application.

           4. Click Log In.

           With a text message (SMS short message service).

           1. Click MFA verification via SMS.

              The dialog box updates with boxes for entering the numbers of the authentication code, and the ESO Suite sends an authentication code to the phone number recorded in your PM records and identified with MFA codes.

              

           2. Enter the authentication code sent to your MFA-registered phone number.

           3. Click Log In.

           With an email message.

           1. Click MFA verification via email.

              The dialog box updates with boxes for entering the numbers of the authentication code, and the ESO Suite sends an authentication code to your agency or department email address, recorded in your PM records.

              

           2. Enter the authentication code sent to your agency or department email address.

           3. Click Log In.

      The ESO Suite landing screen appears.

      Click graphics to open them.

      Note: If MFA multi-factor authentication is enabled, you can access and manage your MFA options through the PM module, on the Settings > Account page, as described in Manage a user account. If your agency or department has enabled MFA but has not purchased the full-featured version of the PM module, you can access your own MFA settings by clicking Change my Multi-Factor Authentication settings on the landing screen, then using the Settings > Account page that appears. If your agency has not enabled MFA, the Change my Multi-Factor Authentication settings link does not appear on the landing screen.

   2. On the top side of the home screen, click PM.

      Tip: If your screen or browser window is too narrow to display all your agency's ESO Suite module icons, an options icon appears on the right side of the icon bar. If you click the options icon, a menu appears containing additional module icons.

      A list of all the personnel in the PM module appears, displayed in a grid format.

      PM (full version)	PM Basic

      Note: If you can access the full-featured PM module, you can view all your own information in it. The amount of information you can edit in the PM module depends on what roles and permissions your ESO Suite administrator assigned to your user account.

      Information on user accounts, roles, and permissions is available in Manage a user account.

2. In the left pane, near the bottom, click the Settings icon.

   

   If you have the necessary permissions assigned to your ESO Suite user roles to configure settings, the Settings screen appears. The list of features that appears in the left pane reflects your permissions to access and configure the PM module, and whether your agency or department has PM Basic or the full-featured version of the PM module. By default, the module opens to the Certifications and Licenses > EMS screen.

   PM (full version)	PM Basic

3. In the left pane, expand Medical Lists, then click Immunization Manufacturers.

   The Immunization Manufacturers screen appears, listing the major vaccine-producing companies.

   PM (full version)	PM Basic

4. (Optional) Disable or enable a vaccine manufacturer.

   You can disable a vaccine manufacturer, so that the corresponding menu option does not appear in other areas of the module. You can always re-enable a vaccine manufacturer later, if needed.

   1. On the right side of the listing, click Actions, and choose choose Disable.

      

      A red Disabled label appears to the left of the vaccine manufacturer, and the vaccine manufacturer moves to the bottom of the list.

   2. On the right side of the listing, click Actions, and choose Enable.

      This option appears only if you disabled the vaccine manufacturer in the past.

      

      The red Disabled label disappears to the left of the vaccine manufacturer, indicating that the vaccine manufacturer will appear again as a menu option in other areas of the ESO Suite.
