A mobile vaccine service empowering health, one injection at a time
Frequently asked questions
Will Rx4Prevention also do staff vaccines in long-term care facilities?
Yes! Staff vaccines can be done seamlessly with patient vaccines. It’s a real advantage of our on-site service; there is virtually no disruption to the staff’s working schedule. If spouses or family members wish to also be vaccinated, the Rx4Prevention staff will be happy to accommodate them.
Is a formal contract with our facility needed?
No. If we have access to your patients’ records, however, we will sign a HIPAA Business Associates agreement.
Is there an additional charge to the facility for your services?
No. The only potential fee would be the provision of staff members’ vaccines for those without third-party payers.
What is the procedure for patients in long-term facilities who cannot give consent?
Patients who can sign consents will do so. For those who cannot, the patient’s Power of Attorney (POA) can sign the consent and HIPAA forms. In many facilities, the Director of Nursing elects to coordinate communications with POA’s to keep abreast of all aspects of the patient’s medical care, and forms can be signed at that time.
Do you administer vaccines in your van?
No, instead we set up our clinic in an area within your facility: a conference room, a theatre, chapel, lounge, or other area of your choice. For your most fragile residents, we are happy to go to the residents’ room and administer vaccines at bedside.
What does the facility need to provide? Supplies? Manpower?
We bring all needed vaccines and supplies to you, making the Clinic Day hassle-free for your staff. We may ask to have a staff member work with the pharmacist to ensure clients are identified correctly. It also helps residents experiencing fear or anxiety to have a familiar face and voice nearby.
Does Rx4Prevention do worksite vaccinations for companies or organizations?
Yes! Rx4Prevention's mobile unit makes on-site employee vaccinations a fast and easy process. With a little prior planning and scheduling with the Human Resources department (or on-site Health Clinic Director), vaccinations can be given to the entire workforce with virtually no downtime.
Can you provide references from facilities you have served?
Absolutely. We’re happy to provide contact info from Directors of Nursing, Corporate Healthcare Liaisons, and other Clinical Care Consultants who are our partners.
