Make your travel consultation easier

Access your traveller's health information all in one place with VERS.
 

What is VERS?

The Vaccine Electronic Record System (VERS) application records your traveller’s vaccination information and travel-related medication, tracks their travel health history, and compiles reports all in one place.

Why use VERS?

VERS provides practitioners with an electronic system to record traveller demographics and administered vaccinations during the consultation.  It further allows the user to create patient reports.

 

It is user specific, is username and password protected, and is housed on a secure site. On logging in for the first time, the user will enter the necessary demographic details of the clinic, vaccination centre or medical practice.

​

NEW! Be part of the first comprehensive African traveller's health study

The PATMF wishes to encourage members to participate in a prospective study that will capture traveller demographics to be presented at the International Travel Medicine Society Conference in New Orleans in May 2025. To do this, the Vaccine Electronic Record System will enable you to capture the information. The information will be collated and submitted for presentation.
