Review the following scenario, and choose the BEST course of action: A clinic staff member is about to administer a patient's second dose of DTaP. The patient's parent has already reviewed and received a copy of the current VIS at the previous visit. What should the staff member do before giving the patient their second dose of TVFC vaccine?

• Give a paper copy of the current VIS for the parent to take home and review.

• Review the office's laminated copy of the current VIS before vaccination.

• Review the office's copy of the current VIS with the parent before vaccination, also providing the parent a paper copy to take home.

• Check patient's medical record to verify the parent has already received the DTaP VIS. If so, providing the VIS is not required.
