4 |
| appropriate,
receive an influenza vaccination prior to or upon |

Advisory
Committee on |

|
10 |
| Prevention
determines that dates of administration other than |

optimal to
protect the health |
12 |
| of residents, the Department is authorized to adopt rules
to |
13 |
| require
vaccinations at those times rather than the times |

15 |
| resident's medical record that an annual
vaccination against |
16 |
| influenza
was administered, refused, or medically |
17 |
| contraindicated. |

22 |
| who is age 65 or over, in accordance with the
recommendations |
23 |
| of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the
|
24 |
| Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, who has not |
25 |
| received this immunization
prior to or
upon admission to the |
26 |
| establishment, unless the resident refuses the offer for
|
27 |
| vaccination or the
vaccination is medically contraindicated. |
28 |
| An establishment shall document in each
resident's
medical |
29 |
| record that a vaccination against pneumococcal pneumonia was |
30 |
| offered
and administered, refused, or medically |
31 |
| contraindicated.
