Educate pharmacists about Prepare pharmacists to Direct pharmacists to resources necessary to The self-study learning activity is designed to ensure that all participants understand
vaccine-preventable diseases and the role of pharmacists and student pharmacists as
vaccine advocates and administrators. There are 23 core learning modules and several
optional modules that present in-depth information on immunology, practice implementation,
and legal and regulatory issues with appropriate references to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) resource publication, Epidemiology and Prevention of
Vaccine-Preventable Disease. The second component of the APhA’s Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery certificate
training program is an active learning seminar focusing on pharmacy practice implementation.
The live training seminar is based on the experience of practitioners involved in
immunization advocacy and administration. The training seminar reinforces and expands
on the self-study program and addresses areas such as immunization needs, legal and
regulatory issues, and injection-technique training. Participants will be expected
to practice giving intramuscular and subcutaneous injections. For a complete list of learning objectives and for all APhA accreditation information
