Why Clinics Use It
Built for documentation speed, not just barcode demos
VaxLink is designed around the moments where immunization teams lose time: manual entry, lot verification, and switching between source references and chart fields.
Lead gain
Reduce manual entry
Pull vaccine details from the barcode and the catalogue instead of typing lot, DIN, and expiry by hand.
Input error
Reduce transcription errors
Keep lot, DIN, expiry, and trade name together while documenting an immunization record.
Time saved
Speed up documentation
Give staff the same repeatable steps in Panorama and InputHealth instead of copying fields one at a time.
System Map
What the app does on an actual clinic screen
Each block maps to one step in the product: parse the barcode, check the lot, review the values, then inspect the bundle if something looks wrong.
split
Scan and parse GS1 vaccine barcodes
Read GTIN, lot, expiry, and serial from scanner output or pasted barcode strings.
Supports parenthesized GS1, compact payloads, and common text-label fallbacks used in clinic environments.
Works with AI 01, AI 10, AI 17, and AI 21 barcode fields.

Review source catalogue data when needed
Inspect cached bundle resources, lot matches, and barcode output in one place.
Use this when a barcode looks odd, a lot does not match, or you want to review the bundle directly.

Use Cases
Three ways teams can move through the product
The extension handles chart entry, review, and bundle refresh. The structure below shows where those steps meet.
Step 01
In-clinic barcode scan
- Scan or paste barcode output
- Resolve lot metadata from NVC
- Review autofill-ready values in extension
Best for routine Panorama and InputHealth documentation.
Step 02
Manual barcode fallback
- Paste compact GS1 or labeled text
- Confirm parsed AI values
- Continue with autofill or manual verification
Useful when scanners output plain text or partial payloads.
Step 03
Cached bundle review
- Refresh the local NVC bundle
- Paste barcode or check lot data
- Confirm the current reference details
Best for troubleshooting or confirming what is in the current bundle.
Product Mode

Data summary
Bundle, browser, and chart access
VaxLink uses the National Vaccine Catalogue bundle maintained by the Public Health Agency of Canada as its lot reference. Bundle data stays in browser storage for repeated lookups. The extension targets the active chart fields needed for autofill and is not affiliated with PHAC.
