Which of the following is a complete set of items considered required documentation for vaccines?

Documentation for vaccines includes three pieces: obtaining informed consent from the patient (or guardian) to vaccinate, providing and documenting a Vaccine Information Statement so the patient understands the benefits and risks, and maintaining a complete immunization history by collecting or confirming documentation of any vaccines received elsewhere. Consent shows permission to vaccinate, the VIS ensures the patient is informed, and having prior vaccine information helps prevent duplicate doses and keeps the medical record accurate. In many settings this may involve sharing or confirming records with the patient’s primary care provider. When all three components are present, the documentation set is complete, which is why all of the above is the correct choice.
