Troubleshooting the flu vaccination program
Having trouble with the flu vaccination program rollout? Here's how to solve common issues.
Employees can't see the Flu Vaccination tile.
The tile may not be visible if:
- The program hasn't been activated yet in your Sonder portal
- Employees have an outdated version of the Sonder app
- The program start date hasn't arrived yet
- Employees are outside Australia (program is Australia-only)
- There's a technical glitch or cache issue
How to fix it:
Step 1: Ask employees to update their app
- Outdated app versions may not display new features
- Direct them to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android)
- Ask them to check for updates and install the latest version
- Restart the app after updating
Step 2: Clear app cache (if still not visible)
- iOS: Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Sonder > Offload App (then reinstall)
- Android: Settings > Apps > Sonder > Storage > Clear Cache
Step 3: Verify location
- The program is currently available in Australia only
- If employees are outside Australia, they won't see the tile
Push notifications are not being received.
Notifications may not reach employees because:
- Notification permissions are disabled in the members app
- Phone-level notification permissions are off
- There's a technical issue with the notification system
How to fix it:
Step 1: Check app-level notification settings
- Ask employees to open Sonder
- Go to Settings > Notifications
- Confirm that health notifications are enabled
Step 2: Check phone-level notification settings
- iOS: Settings > Notifications > Sonder > Allow Notifications (toggle on)
- Android: Settings > Apps > Sonder > Notifications > Allow (toggle on)
