The course had been developed in line with National Minimum Standards for Vaccination Training (UKHSA) Guidelines. However it is important for all clinicians to undergo supervised practice in their workplace and only to practise autonomously when they and their employer are satisfied that they are competent to do so.
This 2 day New Immunisers virtual training course for Healthcare Support Workers (HCSWs) including Pneumococcal, Shingles & Vitamin B12 injections has been developed in line with the ‘National Minimum Standards and Core Curriculum for Vaccination Training’ – UKHSA.
Virtual course which runs each day from 09:15 – 16.30 (UK)

All HCSWs administering vaccines should undertake foundation immunisation training as per national guidelines. The course is therefore suitable for any Healthcare Support Workers (HCSWs) who are new to immunising.
Firstly, this is an interactive, engaging, and comprehensive virtual 2 day course. We have included all of the Foundation Immunisation Training modules recommended in the National Minimum Standards for Vaccination Training (UKHSA) document.
We have also included comprehensive information for vaccine products for Healthcare Support Workers including:
This course also provides an overview of COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines.
Please note: This course is not a replacement for comprehensive COVID-19 and Influenza training. Up-to-date training should be completed prior to delivering these seasonal programmes to ensure you are fully prepared with the latest guidance and information on clinical risk groups and available vaccine products.
Please also note that UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) recommend a period of supervised practice in addition to comprehensive foundations of immunisation training for new immunisers (UKHSA). Because this course does not include a practical element for immunisation technique, you and your supervisor will need to ensure that you have been assessed as competent in these practical skills before you are able to vaccinate alone. As per Resus Council UK guidelines you should also be practically assessed as competent in Basic Life Support. Health Academy have video assessment options for practical assessment of these skills.
