Pharmacy PEBC Practice Exam

According to Health Canada, a pharmacist administering a vaccine must document which of the following information in the patient's record of vaccination?

1. Date of birth

2. List of other medications

3. Post-immunization adverse effects

4. Drug allergies

The correct answer is: Post-immunization adverse effects

A While date of birth may be important for verifying the patient's identity and ensuring they are of the appropriate age to receive the vaccine, it is not necessary to document this in the record of vaccination. B: Although a list of other medications may be helpful for the pharmacist to be aware of potential interactions with the vaccine, it is not required to be documented in the patient's record of vaccination. D: While it is important for the pharmacist to be aware of any drug allergies the patient may have, this information does not need to be specifically documented in the record of vaccination.
