Mandatory Training

Childhood immunisation is a highly successful public health intervention that protects individuals across their life course. In addition, child immunisations help to save thousands of lives across the world every year. To ensure ongoing public confidence in vaccines and high vaccine uptake, it is vital that all those who advise on and/or administer immunisations are confident, knowledgeable and up to date. Healthcare practitioners must also be able to answer commonly asked questions confidently and accurately. This module covers the UK current immunisation schedule for children, including recent changes, special considerations, and contraindications to immunisations and what to do about them.
