Program Description

APhA Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery certificate training program (13th Edition) is an innovative, intensive and practice-based continuing pharmacy education activity, based on national educational standards for immunization training from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The purpose of this certificate training program is to prepare pharmacists with comprehensive knowledge, skills and resources necessary to provide immunization services to patients across the life span.

The goals of this program are to:

  • Educate pharmacists about: the impact of vaccines on public health; pharmacists’ roles in immunization; immunologic principles of vaccine development and immunizations; vaccine-preventable diseases and the vaccines used to prevent them; strategies for improving immunization rates; and requirements for pharmacists who provide immunization services. 
  • Prepare pharmacists to: read an immunization schedule and identify appropriate vaccines for individuals across the life span and with special needs; educate patients about the benefits of vaccines and dispel myths about vaccines; safely administer vaccines to patients via subcutaneous, intramuscular, intranasal and intradermal routes; operate an immunization service in compliance with legal and regulatory standards; and partner with immunization stakeholders to promote immunizations and the immunization neighborhood. 
  • Direct pharmacists to resources necessary to: promote public health through immunizations; access regularly updated information about vaccines and their use; effectively communicate with patients and other stakeholders about resources; and operate an immunization service in compliance with legal and regulatory standards.
