Updating your flu vaccination skills
The flu vaccination elearning modules on the elearning for healthcare website are available to all vaccinators and will provide the required update for experienced flu vaccinators. Practitioners should not view updating their flu vaccination knowledge and competencies as a one off event at the start of the flu season but as a continuous process supported by various resources.
Please see the flu immunisation training recommendations for the 2023 to 2024 flu season and the summary of training requirements by workforce group for flu vaccination
