OCEMS source summary · Updated 2026-09-16

Scope & authority

  • Historical/conditional scope: current program authorization has not been established by this reference.
  • No current vaccine dose or schedule is asserted here.

Adult / adolescent

  • The linked 2020 procedure describes trained OCEMS-accredited paramedics administering IM influenza/COVID-19 vaccine under an approved public-health program during the COVID-19 Disaster Declaration.
  • It is conditional program guidance, not evidence that this historical optional scope remains active today. Verify current OCEMS/public-health authorization and the specific product guidance before planning administration.

Pediatric

  • PR-150.10 described a public program for age 14 and older. It does not establish a current vaccine dose, schedule, or authorization for younger children.
  • Use current program authorization and age/product-specific clinical guidance; do not derive a pediatric vaccine regimen from this historical document.

Pediatric dosing availability

  • The historical program document does not establish a current pediatric vaccine dose or active program authorization.
