Welcome to The Mandatory Training Group's online Childhood Immunisation training course for front-line healthcare and social care providers.
Childhood immunisation is a highly successful public health intervention that protects individuals across their life course. Also, child immunisations help to save thousands of lives across the world every year. To ensure ongoing public confidence in vaccines and high vaccine uptake, all those who advise on and/or administer immunisations must be confident, knowledgeable and up to date. This e-learning course was designed in line with the recommendations made in the Public Health England (PHE) National Minimum Standards and Core Curriculum for Immunisation Training.
Our online Child Immunisation training course comprehensively covers the core areas of immunisation with which healthcare practitioners must be familiar with to deliver immunisations safely and effectively. Healthcare practitioners must also be able to answer commonly asked questions confidently and accurately.
