Refusing vaccines vs refusing blood on a WearableDocs record
They are answered differently on purpose, and conflating them misstates what carries the weight of the instrument. One is a clause inside the document you sign. The other is a checkbox on the record page.
The difference that matters
Only one of the two is part of the document you signed.
Side by side
What each one is, and when it operates
- Vaccines
- A clause inside the document the customer signs, alongside the anatomical gift refusal. Carries the weight of the signed instrument.
- Blood and blood products
- A checkbox on the record page, shown near the top of what a responder reads. It is not part of the signed document unless the customer writes it into the document themselves. Read at the bedside, by whoever scans the code.
Also easy to confuse

What your own state requires
A refusal only works if it is on the form your state recognizes. Check your state.
