4. WHO IS AT RISK? General Principles of Vaccination: • Vaccination is ideally universal in coverage. • Vaccination is a primary healthcare service. • Can be given by any at all healthcare encounters. General Considerations for Vaccination: • Never administer vaccines in buttock • Maintain vaccine administration record in patient’s chart including date, site, and route of administration; manufacturer and lot number of vaccine • Simultaneous administration of vaccines is not contraindicated. • The presence of a pregnant woman or immunosuppressed person in the household is not a reason to withhold an indicated vaccine to a family member . • If a live attenuated vaccine is not given simultaneously with another vaccine, a 4-wk interval should be used between vaccinations.
