This half day course is suitable for any HCA already trained in the administration of adult vaccination programmes such as flu, shingles and pneumococcal vaccines and requiring an annual update ahead of the forthcoming flu season. As seasonal flu changes every year, it is essential that skills and competency are refreshed to maintain evidence of best practice and provide safe, effective delivery of the vaccination programme.
This interactive workshop will revisit the necessary learning for influenza, pneumococcal and shingles vaccinations with case studies and discussion to explore those difficult scenarios alongside a quiz assessment of knowledge and skills.
Delegates will have an opportunity to revisit competency frameworks and have access to all the necessary paperwork for robust, efficient delivery of adult vaccine programmes.
