That sentence is taken out of context (imagine my surprise). Also included in the opening paragraphs is
Informed consent must be obtained prior to each dose from the patient themselves, or, where the patient does not have capacity to give consent, from the parent, guardian or substitute decision-maker. Sedation should not be used as a measure to enforce compliance with vaccination requirements.
The "opportunistic" part means that the patient can consent to be vaccinated while undergoing sedation for other reasons.
