Hi Carr I think it was an RCN document not a DOH or HPA one that talks about vaccination in the community. Try Shire Hall Communications (2001) UK guidance on best practice in vaccine administration, London: Shire Hall. This can be downloaded from the RCN website Advance Notice: This week I am working from home on Wednesday. When I am working from home, please email with full contact details if you wish me to call you regarding any urgent matter and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Carr Barnes Sent: 03 July 2013 12:25 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Delivering vaccination programmes Hi all I've just had a discussion with a colleague about logistics regarding delivery of vaccinations. With my last employer our process had us delivering vaccinations solo (without another clinician) and often we would be relatively isolated in the customer's building e.g. receptionist on lunch or half day or for security reasons or location of the delivery room. Our process stated a safety risk assessment was required e.g. did you have direct consistent access to an outside telephone line to dial 999 if there was no-one within shouting/grabbing distance, did you have adrenalin etc My colleague worked for a provider where vaccinations were always delivered with a "responsible person" close by in case of emergency. I have been through the HPA site and Green Book (immunisation procedures etc) cannot find anything on this "responsible person" role. Can I ask what other people do and why (evidence base)?
