This course aligns with UK travel health and immunisation guidance. However, clinicians must complete supervised practice in their workplace and should only deliver Hepatitis A vaccinations independently when both they and their employer are confident in their competence.
Yes. To deliver yellow fever vaccines, clinicians must also complete the required UK YFVC training and be authorised under a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.
Welcome to this yellow fever vaccine course which is part of the ‘Health Academy Short Course’ series that provides clinicians with specific information relating to the Yellow Fever vaccine.
This course is suitable for any experienced vaccinators who’s role will involve administering yellow fever containing vaccines. Therefore this could include immunisation nurses, practice nurses, travel health nurses, pharmacists or any healthcare professional administering vaccines.
We have designed the vaccine short courses to cover all the key information for understanding the fundamentals of the disease, and the available vaccines. Therefore this course includes information on the live vaccine and it’s risks. You should complete the course in approximately 60 minutes.
Course content:
Please note: This is a stand alone yellow fever short course. It is therefore NOT a substitute for NaTHNaC or PHS yellow fever training for registered yellow fever clinics.
Therefore this is not a Foundations of Immunisation Course for those new to immunising or an Annual Immunisation Update Course.
We also recommend completing a comprehensive Fundamentals of Travel Health course if you are going to be delivering a travel health service. This is in line with Good Practice Guidance for Providing a Travel Health Service (RGPSG, 2020).
Further travel health related short courses are also available here.
