This page provides resources for healthcare personnel who provide immunization services.
It's Federal Law - You Must Use Vaccine Information Statements (CDC web site) every time you give a vaccine.
Every person who administers vaccines should screen every patient for contraindications and precautions before giving vaccines.
Effective screening is key to preventing serious adverse events and is not difficult or complicated. Screening can be accomplished with just a few questions (See the screening forms which follow).
The "Contraindications and Precautions" section in the General Recommendations (CDC web site), pages 40 through 43, describes valid and invalid contraindications and precautions.
More specific information on contraindications and precautions is available in vaccine-specific ACIP recommendations.
