HCP Adult & Flu Vaccine Update Webinar

Please note that those immunisers also doing the routine childhood vaccines will also need to book onto the Healthcare Professional Childhood Immunisations Update Webinar.

Course Content

This 4 hour webinar covers the medicines management type content required in the annual update – consent, PGDs/PSDs, cold chain, safe and appropriate administration of vaccines etc as well as the adult vaccines – flu (*), pneumococcal, shingles, pertussis for pregnant women, tetanus and COVID-19.
