# 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

What it is

A clause inside the document the customer signs, alongside the anatomical gift refusal.

When it operates

Carries the weight of the signed instrument.

Blood and blood products

What it is

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.

When it operates

Read at the bedside, by whoever scans the QR code.

Also easy to confuse
