| RV5 | ROTAVIRUS (ROTATEQ) | MERCK & CO. INC. | 1 | Y014320 | PO / MO |
When discussing vaccines to be given, this RN noted in the Registry that rotavirus was not listed in the recommended vaccines. The note at the bottom of the recommendation list states, "please do not rely soley on the Recommender to forecast immunizations." Upon looking at the number of days old listed in Epic, this RN noted "(85 day old)" and attempted to calculate age based on days old. Based on 85 day old status, pt would be 12 weeks old. Discussed with CPNP-PC and PA-C if there would be an indication of why a pt wouldn't be able to receive the vaccine at approx 12 weeks with recommendation starting prior to 15 weeks old. None noted when asked. Looked up and printed off CDC recommendation for rotavirus, highlighted 15 week limit, printed off Rotavirus VIS report for MOC and highlighted 15 week limit. Discussed with Dr., PA-C, and CPNP-PC age less than 15 weeks and okay for pt to receive rotavirus. Dr. in agreement and verbally gave order to be put into Epic for rotavirus. This RN charted giving rotavirus prior to going into room and sent vaccine to Registry to verify okay to receive and that the immunization would not be flagged as inappropriate prior to administration. Upon refreshing registry, valid first dose documented. When entering room to administer vaccines, relayed all vaccines to be given and gave VIS printout of all vaccines to be given. Discussed time frame and age with MOC, relayed no pressure to receive rotavirus if not comfortable. MOC verbalized okay to give, this RN showed vaccine, manufacturer, expiration date and administered rotavirus along with other vaccines ordered. After finished charting, this RN rechecked date given and birth date to realize that pt is 17 weeks old based on birth date. RN reported to Dr. and Director of Nursing.
