consents

i'm curious - wherever you guys work, do you have patients sign a specific consent to get vaccines/medications? i suppose in an inpatient setting it would be different because going into it they sign a consent to treat and those things usually fall under that(right

we get consents for vaccines; i work in a nursing home. and i think that some parents would JUMP to sue because vaccines are a hotbed of contestion nowadays, i would be leery of that.

exactly!!! i'm not sure her idea is gonna fly very well with the higher ups at the hospital, but i am definitely not ok with it.

No, consent and a tracking log is the law. Tell them to stick their Jose elsewhere.

The CDC requires a consent be signed for every vaccine, except if administered in an in-patient setting, where the patient signed a "consent to treat" upon admission.
