Select Age Range

Select Patient Age Range Options	Description
Patients 9 through 12 years old, no immunization in 5 years	Selecting this option will inactivate patients that have immunization(s) for the organization, but not in the last 5 years. Note: This will not inactivate patients with no immunizations at all. To inactivate patients with no immunizations for the organization, the custom age range and “Inactive any patients that have no administered immunizations by this clinic” must be selected.

If the user selects this option the first two age range options will be deselected.
