Use of Clamshell Vaccine Bags by Community Nursing Teams (S99)
DCHS staff support the annual Influenza vaccination campaign and other vaccination programs by vaccinating some patients on behalf of GP practices. Vaccines are stocked in the GP practices and administered in the patients’ own homes (including care homes), which means they need to be transported between locations. DCHS staff have been provided with Clamshell Vaccine Bags for this purpose. This Standard Operating Procedure provides information to DCHS staff on the use of Clamshell Vaccine Bags.
