APhA’s Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery certificate training program is based on national educational standards for immunization training from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  This practice-based curriculum represents a fusion of science and clinical pharmacy. The program, which emphasizes a health care team approach, seeks to foster the implementation of interventions that will promote disease prevention and public health.  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.

  4. Vaccine-preventable diseases and the vaccines used to prevent them.
  5. Strategies for improving immunization rates.
  6. Requirements for pharmacists who provide immunization services.

  2. Educate patients about the benefits of vaccines and dispel myths about vaccines.
  3. Safely administer vaccines to patients via subcutaneous, intramuscular, intranasal, and intradermal routes.
  4. Operate an immunization service in compliance with legal and regulatory standards.
