EMS Protocol of the Week - Vaccine Administration (Adult and Pediatric)

Not really any big takeaways for OLMC this week, just a cool new feature added in light of the last couple years that provides some guidance in allowing EMTs to administer vaccines under the discretion of their medical directors. The attached appendix elaborates on the indications, contraindications, and preparations of the currently permitted vaccines (currently influenza and COVID [Pfizer and Moderna], with the potential for more in the future). Worth a glance for your own awareness and/or a vaccine refresher.
