Section 4: Consent Given By Patient/Agent

I, the undersigned client, parent or guardian, have read or had explained to me information about the flu shot and I have had the chance to ask questions, and answers were given to my satisfaction. I understand the risks and benefits of receiving the flu shot. I agree to wait in the clinic for 15 minutes (or time recommended by the doctor/nurse) after getting the flu shot. I am aware that it is possible (yet rare) to have an extreme allergic reaction to any component of the vaccine. Some serious reactions called “anaphylaxis” can be life-threatening and is a medical emergency. If I experience such a reaction following vaccination, I am aware that it may require the administration of epinephrine, diphenhydramine, beta-agonists, and/or antihistamines to try to treat this reaction and that 9-1-1 will be called to provide additional assistance to the immunizer. The symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction may include hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the tongue, throat, and/or lips. In the event of anaphylaxis, I will receive a copy of my medical record that contains information on emergency treatments that I had received, or a copy will be provided to my agent or EMS paramedics.
