(CRMS) Documentation of Immunization
All regional health authorities must use CRMS to capture primary immunizations, school
immunizations, adult immunizations and vaccines that have been administered in
relation to communicable disease control. Please see the guidelines for documentation
in CRMS that have been developed by the regional health authorities where the client
resides for specifics.

Appendix D: Latex Allergies and Immunization
To address concerns regarding latex allergies and immunization the following
documentation has been collected:
 Documentation from manufacturers
 Individuals identified as high risk
 Suggested guidelines for immunizing a person with latex allergies
 Screening questions to ask when using a product with latex content
Individuals identified as high risk for latex allergies:
 Those with spina bifida
 Those with myelodysplasia or complex congenital anomalies
 Those who have frequent contact with natural latex products and have
experienced allergy type reactions
 Those with a history of anaphylactic reactions of “unknown origin” during surgery
 Those who have food allergies to avocados, kiwi, bananas, chestnuts, tomato or
apples
Guidelines for immunizing a person with latex allergy:
 Ampules of vaccine do not contain latex
 Use an alternate product, latex free if one is available
 Inject vaccine immediately after drawing up
Screening questions to ask when using a latex containing product:
 Do you have any allergies?
 Do you have an allergy to avocados, kiwi, bananas, chestnuts, tomato or apples?
 Do you have spina bifida?
 Do you have a history of rash, hives, eye irritation, rhinitis (runny nose) or
asthmatic symptoms after handing latex gloves, balloons, condoms or other latex
items?
 Do you have any medical problems?
 Do your lips swell if you blow up a balloon?
 Have you had surgery, if yes how many?
 Do you frequently come in contact with rubber products in your workplace?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes:
 Inquire whether allergy testing has been done and did it include latex
 If status is unknown check with the parent or family doctor
 If the person is allergic to latex, use latex guidelines
If further information is unavailable refer to MOH

Emergency Telephone Number ___________________________
*Speedy intervention with epinephrine is of paramount importance; failure to use epinephrine promptly is more
dangerous than using it improperly
** Some RHA may include an oral dose of Benadryl ® for the treatment of the conscious patients. (See CIG for
rationale)
NOTE: In the event of an anaphylactic type reaction all events must be charted and the nursing manager and
Communicable Disease Nurse/Coordinator should be notified as soon as possible

Self-Directed Learning Module on Immunization
Guidelines for the Practitioner
1.
To become knowledgeable in the field of immunization you will need to
successfully complete i) this written self-directed immunization learning module;
and ii) a supervised immunization experience; and iii) orientation session with the
Communicable Disease Control Nurse (CDCN)
2.
You will direct your own learning experience with the goal of reaching or
maintaining competence in immunization. Feel free to use any resource: books,
journals, colleges, to assist you in completing the module. It is recommended
that you refer to the most current edition of the Newfoundland and Labrador
Immunization Manual and the Canadian Immunization Guide. All resources will
be provided to you by your manager.
3.
Complete the module prior to meeting with the Communicable Disease Control
Nurse for orientation on immunization. When you are finished, hand in or send
your completed module to the CDCN at least two days prior to your scheduled
orientation time.
4.
The NL Immunization Manual found at
http://www.health.gov.nl.ca/health/publichealth/cdc/health_pro_info.html#immuni
zation contains the provincial and regional policies and procedures for
immunization, therefore, it is important to carefully read and become familiar with
this resource.
5.
The module will be corrected by the CDCN (or nurse manager) and reviewed
with you at the orientation session.
6.
Remember, there is no grade or pass/fail designation awarded to this module.
Instead, all questions must be answered completely and must follow
Newfoundland and Labrador immunization policy.
