Proper flu shot administration is a super important part of ensuring a corporate flu clinic that runs smoothly and safely. Unfortunately, there are a lot of moving parts when it comes to administering a flu shot—there are simply lots of steps you’ll need to take.

To guarantee you don’t miss any steps, we want you to think about the “rights” of vaccine administration. These “rights” can be found in the handbook as well, and more details are in the infographic below (click on it to make it bigger).

The seven “rights” address a wide variety of patient safety and proper administration techniques. They are:

Be sure you have the right participant.

Be sure you utilize the right vaccine.

Be sure you’re within the right time.

Be sure you draw up the right dosage.

Be sure you choose the right route.

Be sure you’re at the right site.

Be sure you take care of the right documentation.

Focusing on these seven “rights” of vaccine administration helps you be just a little more intentional about each step you take. It helps ensure you won’t overlook anything because you got caught, “going through the motions.”

Take time to learn these “rights” and how they fit into your flu shot administration procedures. Do you have any questions?
