Health Supervision

Immunizations: Introduction

Physical Exam Image*Immunizations are an essential part of health supervision. Every health encounter, including acute care visits, should be seen as an immunization opportunity.

You will want to review the child's or adolescent's immunization status and ensure that it is updated.

The HealthCheck Program requires that PCPs follow the most current immunization schedule approved by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.

 

Documenting Immunization Status

  • Administer and document immunizations according to the current ACIP approved schedule. Record that immunizations have been reviewed, ordered, and/or administered (include date).
  • Record if there are medical/religious exemptions and explain.
  • Record any general comments.
