EXCERPTS from the CME (Continuing Medical Education) WEBINAR WITH THE VACCINE EXPERTS LAST MAY 27, 2020 - Administration, Safe Handling , Procurement
1) VACCINATION is an art in the practice of medicine (especially for pediatricians)
2) VACCINE HANDLING is a serious matter. Proper temperature maintenance for different vaccines cited.
3) Nurses and midwives can vaccinate under the law LIMITED to the vaccines in the EPI (Expanded Program of Immunization) PROGRAM of the government meaning THOSE ONLY BEING GIVEN FREE AT THE HEALTH CENTERS
4) it IS UNETHICAL & ILLEGAL for nurses , midwives, medical students under training like medical clerks, Postgraduate Interns to vaccinate without the proper supervision from a licensed doctors aside from those included in the EPI
3) VACCINE COMPANIES are not liable should there be a problem with the vaccines administered by NON-MDs or not yet licensed medical students/clerks /interns because they are not yet trained on proper handling and administration of these vaccines
4) VACCINE DISTRIBUTORS will be LIABLE FOR DISPENSING VACCINES for NON-MDs including NURSES, MIDWIVES and non medical people who vaccinates WITHOUT MDs SUPERVISION. The distributors will be liable if something happens to the patient during and after vaccinations if they dispense vaccines to NON-MDs, not licensed physicians who are still on training like medical clerks and Postgraduate Interns.
5)it is illegal to post lower prices of vaccines ON SOCIAL MEDIA to entice patients to go to them instead of going to the doctors - Many nurses and midwives and even medical students under training are doing this online. (Screen shot the offers made ). VACCINES are not shoes and bags that can be sold online.
5) MEDICOLEGAL EXPERT OPINION was advised regarding this UNETHICAL /ILLEGAL PRACTICES
6) Administering vaccines brought by patients is not advised because the risk of adverse reactions if cold chain is not properly observed.
NOTE:
Doctors , most esp Pediatricians are regularly updated on Vaccines by EXPERTS IN THE FIELD - it is not a one time thing. We have Vaccine Seminars,Conferences,RTDs, Congress,Webinars
IT IS A CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION that NON-MDs, and medical students under training like medical clerks, Postgraduate Interns may not fully understand.
IT GOES BEYOND INJECTION.
