Meds prechecked in orderset requiring consent

Good morning,

Wondering how other facilities are handling this. We have an orderset for newborns that has hep b vaccine (among a few other things) pre-checked and thus ALWAYS ordered unless provider unchecks which is rare to never. Of course, Hep B administration also requires parental consent to administer. So it could happen that the vaccine is ordered but the parents do not consent. How do other sites handle this? Any information would be helpful.

Thank you,
Lauren Boc
