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.

Before administering MMRV vaccine, the administering staff provides the MMRV VIS to the patient's parent. The staff member then notices the date says 8/6/2021. Is it acceptable to provide this MMRV VIS to the patient's parent? (HINT: Check out https://www.immunize.org/vaccines/vis/about-vis/)

• Yes

• No

Which of the following are acceptable ways of providing a client a VIS? One or more answers are correct. Select any or all correct answers.

• Prior to the office visit, provide a current copy of the VIS for the patient to review at home before vaccination. Also review a paper copy of the current VIS at any time during the office visit.

• Read the office's laminated copy of the VIS before vaccination, checking the date. If outdated, provide a link for the adult client to download and review the current VIS at any time during the visit.

• Review the current VIS on a staff's computer screen before vaccination. Provide a link or QR code for the adult client to download the VIS after vaccination.

• Read the laminated office copy of the current English VIS prior to vaccination. Provide a current electronic copy in client's first language after vaccination.

• Review a paper copy of the current VIS before vaccination, allowing the client to take the copy home after vaccination.
