Vaccinator CPR

The Vaccinator CPR course is designed explicitly for authorised and pharmacist vaccinators and will cover all required topics and the necessary skills to manage a life-threatening emergency.

PURPOSE
This 3-hour resuscitation course aims to give vaccinators skills, knowledge and confidence when providing relevant first aid in emergencies that may occur during an immunisation event.

The course emphasises practical skills in an interactive learning environment and meets the requirements of Appendix 4.4 of the 2020 Immunisation Handbook.

RECOMMENDED FOR
This course is required for authorised and pharmacist vaccinators who must biannually revalidate their resuscitation certification.

It is suited for both new vaccinators and those revalidating their skills.
