Limit the number of appointments bookable in a day

if you could add inventory , eg 10 flu shots , after 10 appts booked, inventory is 0, automatically goes to waitlist mode so no one else can book , but 10 appts could be dispersed over eg 10 hours

So is anything being done on this? It is the most highly rated feature request and dates back to June 2021.

From John Walsh: Pfizer I could do every 5 min all day - but I don't want to break a vial for 1 person - so ideally for Pfizer i set to max i.e 18 appointments for that day

From Andrew Tolmie:
Given today's announcements in Ontario for example...I have a temporary limited number of doses until I can reorder more next week....but I expect a surge in demand.
I would like to continue to offer broad daily appointment flexibility (e.g., anytime between 9am-5pm)....however, temporarily I know that I only have the capacity (both in terms of staff resources & vaccome supply) to do say max 18 doses per day. Once I hit 18 appointments, it would be great if the calendar stopped allowing booking for that day and only offer future days...until those days fill.
I could achieve the above by blocking out times and (or) altering the length of appointments....but this would result in more restricted time options for the patient AND would take time for me to set-up and subsequently reverse once I get more doses in.
I hope this helps!

We're currently looking into this feature request! The full solution is pending a new feature from a 3rd party vendor we use, but we're investigating whether there's an interim solution that could solve this problem as well.

Is any progress being made on this topic? It is a very popular and very crucial request. All of the vaccines that are offered have multiple doses per vial, and all of those doses have to be used within several hours of the vial being punctured. Therefore bookings must be set to a certain number per day (e.g. in multiples of 10 per vial of AZ vaccine; 10 or 14 per vial of Moderna, etc). But if we were to only open 10 vaccine appointments per day (for example), then patients would only be able to book their appointment within a two hour window. And if we were to open up a much larger booking window, then that would mean that we could accidentally get 40 people booking on a day when we only have 1 vial of vaccine left.

Agreed. I want patients to have as much flexibility as possible in the times they choose i just want to control the max no. of vaccines in a day - in multiples of whole vials ie. 10, 20, 30 appts

Adding slots in multiplication of 10

It would be useful to have functionality where we can open slots in multiplication of 10 (e.g. 10 ,20,30..10n) to avoid wastage of vaccine. Currently there is no control over the number of booking and its also manual , we have to set Calendar Availability manually.

Limiting Appts per day
Rexall #2139
As pfizer vaccines have 6 in a vial and they need to be given within a set number of hours. Can there be a feature that will allow us to set a max (x) number of slots per a day (that we can set/allot for any specific day) so that there will be less risk of vaccine wastage in terms of vaccine booking? Thanks!

Very helpful to be able to do 1 vial on a day when we are not running a clinic.
