Vaccination Course
This vaccination course is specifically designed to train pharmacy technicians to administer vaccines according to Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices standard immunization schedule. The course carries 15 pharmacy technician continuing education credits awarded by ACPE.
Practicing injection concepts is an important tool for success. For this reason, the course encourages patient encounter practice as well as practice with injection mechanics. The learner will complete this course knowing what patient questions can be answered within the pharmacy technician role and what patient vaccination questions must be referred to the pharmacist. It is our goal to have each learner complete this course feeling comfortable and confident in administering vaccine.
Learners have a four month timeframe to complete the course. This is an on-demand, work-at-your-own-pace course where completion can happen much earlier than the four month timeframe. A Certificate of Completion is issued at course completion when course requirements are met.
The national vaccination course is a PTCB-Recognized Education/Training Programs for the Immunization Administration Certificate offered by PTCB
