Maree,
I would not wait.
The attached secretary approval document covers the administration of adrenaline by the nurse immuniser in Victoria, and who can and can not administer.

This is the link to the other relevant documents relevant to Victoria

Cheers
Sue

Administering adrenaline for anaphylaxis following ‘flu vaccination

________________________________

Dear all.
This is a question relevant to nurse immunisers
We are now in the middle of our employee flu vaccination campaign and the question has arisen about administering adrenaline.
If an employee has a reaction following administration of the vaccine and the health service has a 24 hour anaesthetic service and a code blue team, should the nurse immuniser wait to administer adrenaline until the team arrives?

Thanks in anticipation
Maree
