Informed consent is an essential pre-condition to providing immunization.
It is the professional and legal responsibility of the provider to obtain informed consent prior to immunization. The intent of this informed consent standard of practice is to achieve a more client-centered, consistent, and expeditious approach.
These videos demonstrate the process for obtaining consent for a vaccine series in various situations. Each video scenario reviews the seven steps in obtaining informed consent. These steps are:
- Step 1: Determine Authority
- Step 2: Determine Capability
- Step 3: Provide Standard Information
- Step 4: Confirm Understanding of Standard Information
- Step 5: Provide Opportunity for Questions
- Step 6: Confirm Consent
- Step 7: Document Consent or Refusal
The intent of the informed-consent process is to have the seven steps covered as part of a client-centered visit. These scenarios demonstrate the informed-consent process only. In actual practice obtaining informed-consent is not a linear process but part of a more fulsome conversation with, and assessment of, the client.
