What are SOPs?
-
SOPs empower non-physician medical personnel to assess each patient's immunization status and administer vaccines without direct physician involvement at the time of the interaction or an individual physician's order.
-
Practices should have on file preapproved orders to vaccinate a class of patients with specified vaccines by a standard protocol.
-
Regular in-service should take place to ensure that all appropriate staff members are aware of the SOPs and how to implement them.
