Which of the following practices is NOT part of standard precautions in infection control?

Vaccination for all patients is not considered part of standard precautions in infection control. Standard precautions focus on minimizing the risk of infection transmission during patient care and promoting practices that ensure safety for healthcare workers and patients alike. These precautions include routine practices such as hand washing, wearing gloves, and cleaning surfaces to prevent the spread of infectious agents.

While vaccination is an important public health measure for preventing disease spread, it is not categorized under standard precautions. Vaccination targets preventing illness at an individual and community level and is generally implemented based on specific health recommendations rather than being a direct infection control measure used during routine patient care and handling. Therefore, while vaccination is valuable, it falls outside the immediate scope of standard precautions.
