(a) A resident who receives services at a health care facility during the period of October 1 to April 1 shall have his or her status for influenza and pneumococcal immunization determined by his or her physician or facility medical director, and, if appropriate, the facility shall offer to make the immunizations available, unless the facility, through written policies and procedures and using standardized nursing procedures, offers to make the immunizations available without limitation as to the period when the residents receive services at the facility. (b) A health care facility shall obtain from a resident who requests immunization services, or, if the person lacks the capacity to make medical decisions, from the person legally authorized to make medical decisions on the resident’s behalf, informed consent for the resident to be immunized by vaccination against influenza or pneumococcal disease, or both, to be conducted by the facility while the resident is receiving services at the facility. (c) A health care facility shall comply with Section 1418.8 with respect to a resident who lacks the capacity to make health care decisions, and there is no person with legal authority to make these decisions on behalf of the resident. (d) The health care facility shall document in a resident’s medical record whether the resident has been offered the influenza vaccine or the pneumococcal vaccine.
