Vaccination and Assessing Capacity to Consent

The current Covid-19 climate reminds us of the importance of robust and clear guidance on assessing patient capacity to consent for vaccination.  The Safeguarding Adults National Network (SANN) have produced a useful vaccination assessing capacity to consent form.
