What must be done to the 2766C in order for it to be considered official?

• A. Must be signed by the vaccine administrator
• B. Must be witnessed by a nurse
• C. Must be approved by base commander
• D. Must be notarized

Answer: (A)

Authentication through the vaccine administrator’s signature makes the 2766C an official record. When the clinician signs the form after administering the vaccine, it confirms who gave the vaccine, the date, and the vaccine details (type, lot, expiration, site). This signature ties the record to a specific, responsible person and verifies that the entry is accurate and complete. Other steps like notarization, requiring a nurse to witness, or commander approval aren’t the standard requirements to validate the record; they don’t establish the official, verifiable link between the vaccination and the person who administered it.
