Are prophylactic treatments recordable if they involve medications given for the prevention of complications i.e. antibiotics for the prevention of infection or injection of vaccines?
Answer Section 14300.7 provides a complete list of all treatments considered first aid for purposes of Article 2 and states (in part) that first aid includes administering tetanus immunizations (other immunizations, such as Hepatitis B vaccine or rabies vaccine, are considered medical treatment). All other vaccines given for the purpose of treatment would fall under medical treatment and are recordable.
