Stay Sharp to Prevent Errors With Vaccines

September 2018

Vaccine errors are still occurring...but you can help prevent them.

Ensure you 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.
