Pharmacist must notify each patient's PCP within _____ of the administration of any vaccine.

Coordinating patient care is the focus here: when a pharmacist administers a vaccine, they must notify the patient’s primary care provider within 14 days. This timely communication helps the PCP review the patient’s immunization status, check for potential interactions or need for additional vaccines, and ensure the patient’s medical records reflect accurate vaccine history. The 14-day window is the regulatory requirement, so shorter (7 days) or longer windows (21 or 30 days) don’t meet the rule. Delaying notification beyond 14 days can create gaps in care and record accuracy.
