APhA Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery Certificate

Participants will complete a series of self-paced online modules that introduce key concepts in immunization practice, including vaccine science, immunology, relevant laws and regulations, and strategies for implementing immunization services.

This component is designed to build a strong foundation for understanding the pharmacist’s role in promoting and delivering immunizations. Learners will engage with interactive content, self-assessments, and case-based scenarios to reinforce critical concepts and support practical application.

Access to the self-study materials will be provided once registration is confirmed and payment has been received.

This interactive session focuses on clinical application, immunization schedules, patient communication, and technique training. Active participation with video enabled is required.

Log-in via computer, tablet, or any mobile device 1 hour before program start to ensure properly functioning internet connection, microphone, and camera. Join the activity 10 minutes prior to start time for check-in and to adhere to activity schedule. Camera video must be functional and enabled for the duration of the program. Learners must be present and engaged for the entirety of the program and not participating in other activities during the program (e.g. - taking the program while simultaneously at work, while running errands, while babysitting, etc.) to be eligible for completion.

Following the live seminar, participants must demonstrate competency by administering two intramuscular injections and one subcutaneous injection. An evaluator licensed to administer immunizations and an adult volunteer are required. You are responsible for identifying a healthcare professional who can evaluate your technique. You will need a second person, such as a housemate, friend, significant other for the “human arm”. It is required that your evaluator be anyone who has the current scope of practice to immunize (e.g., a trained pharmacist, nurse, etc.). The injection technique assessment will take place after the live seminar.
