Which item is NOT listed as required documentation for vaccines?

• A. Consent form
• B. Vaccination assessment form
• C. Vaccine Information Statement (VIS)
• D. Must fax the patient's primary doctor documentation of non-flu vaccines

Answer: (B)

In vaccine documentation, you must capture informed consent and provide the patient with the Vaccine Information Statement. The consent form records the patient’s agreement to receive the vaccine, while the VIS informs them of benefits and risks and must be given before vaccination with the date noted as proof of provision. Some practices also share vaccination details with the patient’s primary care physician to keep the medical record complete, especially for non-flu vaccines.

A separate vaccination assessment form is not universally required as part of the standard documentation. While screening questions and notes may be used, there isn’t a single mandated “vaccination assessment form” that must be kept in every setting.
