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
