Stay Sharp to Prevent Errors With Vaccines

September 2018

Vaccine errors are continuing to occur...but you and your team can take steps to prevent them.

Ensure your techs pick the correct vaccine by double-checking NDCs, using bar-code scanners, etc. For example, Fluzone, Fluarix, and Flublok look and sound alike. So do Tdap and DTaP...and Hep A and Hep B.

Use the right diluent if the vaccine requires reconstitution.
