published in Huisarts Nu 2001; 30 (4):146-57 The GP examines the vaccination status of patients born before 1959. The GP reaches this target group most easily. The GP has at least a monitoring role among children and adolescents who are at school. He must examine whether these two groups have correctly received their basic vaccinations. In the case of incomplete vaccinations, the GP encourages them to complete the schedule or completes the schedule himself. All 16-year-olds must have received a tetanus and diphtheria booster. In the case of a wound posing a risk, we provide correct wound care and a tetanus and diphtheria booster if the patient was last inoculated against tetanus more than five years ago ànd had correct basic vaccination. If the last inoculation dates back more than 20 years or the vaccination status is unknown or incomplete, primary vaccination is started and the patient is given immunoglobulins. We give a repeat every ten years. Before administering a vaccine, the GP always asks for the vaccination chart. After he has administered the vaccine, he writes this action down on the vaccination chart. When 'registering’ a patient, the GP always requests the vaccination chart. The GP notes the vaccination act in the space provided in the patient record. He also notes the side-effects of the vaccine, if necessary. In the vaccination space he also notes the contra-indication. The GP administers Tedivax pro adulto® instead of Tevax®.
