Step-by-step explanation:
Vaccines are biological products that protect people from certain diseases. They consist of pathogens (viruses or disease-causing bacteria) previously attenuated or killed or fragments of these agents. Its function is to stimulate an immune response of the body, which starts producing antibodies without having contracted the disease. Vaccines enable the development of so-called “immunological memory”, which is nothing more than the anticipated production of specialized antibodies that will recognize the invader if the person becomes infected with it. This way, the response to the actual infection will be faster and more effective.
When administering a vaccine, nurses should record some information, which may be used as a basis for other vaccines in the same patient or to address some effects. Among these informations should be written:
- Date vaccine was administered,
- vaccine's manufacturer,
- type of vaccine and the dose,
- exact site injection was given,
- any reported/observed side effects,
- publication date of the VIS form given to the parent,
- parent education about possible side effects,
- name and title of person who administered the vaccine.
