step ₆:Documentation and Related IssuesIn the previous chapters, you learned that youneed to provide your patient with a Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) before you administer avaccine. You also need to document in the patient’srecord that you provided this VIS. Another importantdocumentation task is to make certain that everyperson you vaccinate goesMake certain thathome with a record of theevery person youvaccination. You can usevaccinate goesthe Adult ImmunizationRecord Card that is availa- home with a recordble for purchase fromof the vaccination.the Immunization ActionCoalition (IAC) at www.immunize.org/shop/recordcards.asp. You could also check with your state healthdepartment to see if they have similar cards available.Step-by-Step:Documentation Tasks Record federally required information aboutyour patient’s vaccinations in the patient’spermanent medical record or in an office log– Follow CDC guidelines for documentingthat you gave the patient current VISs– Record specific information about eachadministered vaccine in your clinic's vaccine administration record– Report adverse events that occur aftervaccination Update your patient’s personal vaccinationrecord card or provide a record to your patient Update your patient’s vaccination record inyour state or local Immunization InformationSystem (IIS or registry), if one is availableRecord federally required information aboutyour patient’s vaccinations in the patient’spermanent medical record or in an office logMuch of the documentation involved in administering vaccines is required under federal law, specifically Section 2125 of the Public Health Service Act[42 U.S.C. §300aa-25] found at -25.htm. TheNational Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of1986 created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) (www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation) toMuch of the documentationcompensate individuals, or families involved in administeringof individuals, who vaccines is required underhave been injuredfederal law.by certain vaccines.The vaccines needed by adults and covered by thislaw include those containing (either alone or incombination) diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles,mumps, rubella, polio, hepatitis A, hepatitis B,Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), seasonal influenza, pneumococcal conjugate, meningococcalVaccinating Adults: A Step-by-Step Guide Immunization Action Coalition www.immunize.org www.vaccineinformation.org

88 step 6:Documentation and Related IssuesEven though the term “childhood” is in the titleof the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act,the law includes certain vaccines wheneverthey are given to infants, children, AND adults.(ACWY and B), human papillomavirus (HPV), orvaricella (chickenpox). Even though the term“childhood” is in the title of the Act, the law includesthese vaccines whenever they are given to infants,children, AND adults.Under the law, there are three main requirementsof vaccination providers. You must: Give the patient a copy of the relevant federalVaccine Information Statement (VIS), found atwww.immunize.org/vis, for the vaccine he or sheis about to receive. Record certain information about the administered vaccine(s) in the patient’s medical record ora permanent office log. Document any adverse event that the patientexperiences following the vaccination and thatbecomes known to the provider, whether or notyou think the vaccine caused the event. Submit thereport to the Vaccine Adverse Event ReportingSystem (VAERS) at https://vaers.hhs.gov/index.Now we’ll cover the details about complying withthese three requirements.Follow CDC guidelines for documenting thatyou gave the patient current VISsThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) is responsible for developing the VISs andupdating them when necessary. Each VIS containsspecific information about the disease the vaccineprevents, the vaccine, possible side effects, whatto do about serious reactions, and the phone numbers of the National Vaccine Injury CompensationThe patient mustalways be offereda copy of the VISto take home.Program and the VaccineAdverse Event ReportingSystem. VISs are availablefrom CDC at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/index.htmlor IAC at www.immunize.org/vis. The IAC VISwebsite is the source for VISs in many languagesin addition to English.Be sure to review CDC’s Instructions for the Useof Vaccine Information Statements located nstructions.pdf, as well as IAC’s It’s Federal Law!You must give your patients current Vaccine Information Statements (VISs), available at www.immunize.org/catg.d/p2027.pdf. Remember, “providing” aVIS typically means giving your patients a physicalcopy to take home. They can, however, reviewa laminated or electronic version – but the patientmust always be offered a copy to take home. Besure to give the VIS to the patient BEFORE youvaccinate, allowing them enough time to read it.Confirm that you are using the most current versionof the VIS by checking the listing of current VIS dateson the IAC website at www.immunize.org/vis.Vaccinating Adults: A Step-by-Step Guide Immunization Action Coalition www.immunize.org www.vaccineinformation.org

step 6:Documentation and Related Issues89Record specific information about eachadministered vaccine in your clinic’s vaccineadministration recordevents and unusual increases in previously reportedevents. Both FDA and CDC review data that arereported to VAERS.A second federal requirement calls for the providerto record certain information about the vaccinesadministered. This information may be recordedin the patient’s permanent medical record or in apermanent clinic log. The information requiredincludes:All healthcare providers and vaccine manufacturersare required to report post-vaccination adverseevents listed in the VAERS Table of Reportable EventsFollowing Vaccination found at https://vaers.hhs.gov/docs/VAERS Table of Reportable Events FollowingVaccination.pdf. Reports must be made whether ornot the provider thinks the vaccine caused the event.Anyone, including vaccine recipients themselves,may submit a report. Healthcare providers shouldsubmit VAERS reports online on the VAERS websiteat https://vaers.hhs.gov/index. date the vaccination was given; vaccine manufacturer and lot number of the vaccine administered; name, address (location where the informationwill be stored), and title of the individual whoadministered the vaccine;https://vaers.hhs.gov/index edition (date of publication) of the VIS (found atthe bottom of the back page of the VIS*); and date the VIS was given to the patient.* Each VIS also contains a barcode that allows the editiondate to be scanned into the record, with the proper software.IAC’s Vaccine Administration Record for Adults, apaper form suitable for use in a patient’s medicalchart, simplifies and organizes the information thatmust be documented. This form, which is availableat www.immunize.org/catg.d/p2023.pdf, also provides examples of how you might fill in the form.In addition, most electronic health records containspace to record this information electronically.Report adverse events that occurafter vaccinationThe Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS),located at https://vaers.hhs.gov/index, serves asa national database that gathers reports of adverseevents that occur following immunizations. It provides a tool used by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and CDC to look for patterns of eventsfollowing vaccine administration. VAERS attemptsto detect previously unrecognized vaccine-relatedThe Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System(VAERS) serves as a national database thatgathers reports of adverse events that occurfollowing immunizations.Update your patient’s personal vaccinationrecord card or provide a record to your patientIn Step 4: Deciding Whom to Vaccinate, we coveredhow to establish your patient’s vaccination history.Once you have determined previous vaccinations(or lack thereof), be sure to note them on the immunization record you keep in your patient’s chartVaccinating Adults: A Step-by-Step Guide Immunization Action Coalition www.immunize.org www.vaccineinformation.org

The most importantelements to include are the type of vaccine and thedate it was given (month, day, and year). Don’tworry about not having all or any of the other information (such as the manufacturer and lot number)about vaccines that were given elsewhere. Thatinformation likely will have been recorded in theoriginal clinic’s records.Healthcare professionalor clinic nameDate nextdose dueAlways carry this record with you and have yourhealthcare professional or clinic keep it up to date.M.I.First nameMeningococcalOther(yr.)(HPV2, HPV4,HPV9)(MenACWY [MCV4],MenB, MPSV4)–(whooping cough)(Tdap,Td)First s(day)Zoster (shingles)(IIV, LAIV)–InfluenzaDate nextdose dueLast name(chickenpox) (Var)(mo.)Healthcare professionalor clinic nameIf comboMeasles, Mumps,Rubella (MMR)VaricellaBirthdate:(PCV13, PPSV23)M.I.Healthcare provider: List the mo/day/yr for each vaccination given.

If he or shehas a personal record card, you can simply updateit. If not, you can print out your patient’s immunization record from your electronic medical recordsystem, give the patient an Adult ImmunizationRecord Card, available at www.immunize.org/shop/record-cards.asp, or provide a similar documentafter you’ve filled in the information. This recordalso should include acolumn to indicatewhen the next dose isdue; you should complete this column forthe patient. This is particularly important forwww.immunize.org/vaccines that are givenshop/record-cards.aspmore than once (e.g.,Td, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, varicella, and HPV).To learn more about vaccines, visit www.vaccineinformation.orgIf you are not the primary care provider, it’s alsoimportant that you provide information about thevaccinations just administered to the patient’sprimary care provider. Remind the patient to havetheir primary care clinic update the clinic medicalrecord from the information on the patient’s personalimmunization record card. You can offer to providethe information for the patient if she or he can giveyou the primary care clinic’s name and address.To assist with this, IAC’s Notification of VaccinationLetter Template is available at www.immunize.org/catg.d/p3060.pdf.Update your patient’s vaccination record inyour state or local Immunization InformationSystem (IIS, or registry), if one is availableAn IIS (“registry”) is a confidential computerizeddatabase that records all vaccine doses administeredby participating providers to persons residingwithin a given area, usually a county or state. AtAn IIS can provide a consolidated immunizationhistory to determine what vaccinations a patientneeds now and during future visits.the time ofthis writing, thereis no nationwidedatabase of individual vaccination records. Inyour clinic orcdcoffice, an IIS can provide a consolidated immunization history to determine which vaccinations apatient needs now and during future visits. Thiscan eliminate the need to call other offices forrecords or have the patient search for his/her ownwritten record. Having a complete vaccination history also will reduce missed opportunities to vaccinate and reduce duplicate vaccinations. Many IISscan accept data directly from an electronic healthrecord, eliminating the need to enter the same vaccination data twice.We strongly suggest that you participate in an IISif one is available in your area. Contact the appropriate State/Territory/City Registry Staff for information about participating in your IIS. A list of staffin your area is available at y-staff.html.That’s it! Although properly documenting vaccinations is not complex, it is a critical part of the patient’smedical record.
