Why ? It's not a serial. The batch number is likely to be
correct for the "next few" shots. However, you probably mean
that people are to "lazy" as in "busy" to do anything beyond
hitting <enter>. I agree with that.
The proper solution is, of course, to do "true" stock
inventory tracking - at least for vaccines. IOW enter the
batch numbers and how many units are available and then
track depletion of the stock. We might want/need to consider
that for the release that's going to handle vaccinations.
Are you actively working on getting vaccination handling
into a particular release ?
