Hi,
With flu season here, can anyone comment on their HD unit’s policy with regards to administering IM injections, such as the flu vaccine, to HD patients on IV anticoagulation for circuit patency ie. does your unit allow IM vaccinations immediately post-HD or only pre-HD? This would be specifically for patients on LMWH (tinzaparin). As a rule we have always done our IM injections pre-HD, but I’m curious what others are doing.
Thanks,
