Medical records

When we visit your workplace for vaccination:
When we visit your workplace for vaccination, we provide everyone wishing to be vaccinated with a pre-vaccination questionnaire. The questionnaire collects information on a voluntary basis such as:

  1. Your name and job title, name of your company or organization and other information such as your date of birth.
  2. Any contact information you may choose to give us, including a home/work contact address, email addresses and telephone numbers.
  3. Limited medical data, such as information about allergies; also, your age (for ease of reference in addition to your date of birth) – to help the doctor or nurse perform their medical duties and assess your suitability for vaccination.
  4. Your signature, consenting to flu vaccinations.

After a workplace visit the questionnaires are stored securely in accordance with prevailing guidelines. These are not transferred to any electronic system, and are only accessed if a query arises subsequently. Examples of such possible queries include: queries about which brand of vaccine was used, adverse events, possible contact for product recalls or manufacturer alerts and payment issues.

We do not disclose medical records to employers or send them to GPs, or to any other party unless required by law to do so. Your pre-vaccination questionnaire will not be used for marketing purposes.

When you visit our clinic for vaccination:
If you attend our clinic as part of an arrangement with your employer or organization, or privately your pre-vaccination questionnaire will be stored as if we had vaccinated you at a workplace visit. Your data will not be processed further.
If you attend as a private client, the same data will be collected on your pre-vaccination questionnaire, but your contact information will be entered on our computer system for billing purposes, and to send you future reminders for flu vaccination, and occasional information about our other services.

Reminders:
Unless you request us not to do so, we will usually send you reminders when your current vaccine protection runs out, or when you are due for tests or further examinations.

Security:
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
