APhA's Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery certificate training program (14th Edition) 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
APhA LIVE OFFERINGS
HHS PREP Act and APhA's 20-hour Immunization Program

Under the Authority granted to it by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has authorized pharmacists to order and administer (and interns to administer) COVID-19 vaccines that have been approved or licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to all individuals age 3 or older. Pharmacist interns must do so while acting under the supervision of a qualified pharmacist. Additionally, HHS has authorized licensed pharmacists (and interns) to provide all vaccines recommended by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and approved or licensed by the FDA, to all children ages 3 to 18 during the COVID-19 pandemic, regardless of state laws and regulations to the contrary.

Both of these authorizations by HHS require that pharmacists (and interns) complete a practical training program of at least 20 hours that is approved by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). This training program must include hands-on injection technique, clinical evaluation of indications and contraindications of vaccines, and the recognition and treatment of emergency reactions to vaccines.

The APhA Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery Certificate Training Program provides 20 hours of training, including hand-on injection technique, clinical evaluation of indications and contraindications of vaccines, and the recognition and treatment of emergency reactions to vaccines. The APhA Pharmacy-Based immunization Delivery Certificate Training Program meets the 20 hour training requirement contained in the two HHS authorizations.

Immunizations need to be administered according to the 7 rights:

All patients should be screened for contraindications and precautions every time a vaccine is administered, even if the patient has previously received a dose of that vaccine. The patient's status can change from one visit to the next or a new contraindication or precaution may have been added. ​​Screening questions are available here .

Some vaccines need to be reconstituted; a specific diluent will be provided by the manufacturer. It is important to follow manufacturer guidelines in reconstituting the vaccine. See Vaccines with Diluents: How to Use Them . Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR); varicella; zoster; meningococcal polysaccharide (MPSV); and rotavirus vaccines all require reconstitution

This includes administering at the correct age, the appropriate interval, and before vaccine or diluent expires.

Check the schedule to ensure the patient is getting the vaccine at the right time, and the appropriate interval (Log-in required). Each vaccine vial should be checked for the expiration date. A vaccine should never be used if it is expired. Once reconstituted, the vaccine must be administered according to the guidelines or discarded. In most cases, if not used within 30 minutes, the vaccine will lose its potency and the patient will not be properly immunized.

Immunizations are administered through the following routes: intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SQ), oral, nasal, and intradermal. The majority of immunizations are administered IM, but MMR, varicella, zoster, and MPSV are administered SQ. In administering IM injections, it is important to use a needle with the correct length to reach the muscle mass and not seep into SQ tissue. (see Table 1 below)

When administering IM injections, the needle should be inserted at a 90° angle-and quickly. It is not necessary to aspirate after needle insertion. SQ injections are administered at a 45° angle, and the SQ tissue is pinched up to prevent injection into the muscle. It is not necessary to aspirate after needle insertion. Multiple immunizations should be a minimum of 1 inch apart. Another method of immunization is nasal spray, which has recently become available for live attenuated influenza vaccine. Intradermal is now available for Fluzone, an influenza vaccine. Oral polio vaccine has not been used in the United States since 2000 but is still used in other countries. In the United States, inactivated polio vaccine is given and can be administered SQ or IM.

Children of different sizes and ages will need vaccines administered in different locations on the body. (see Table 2 below).

​Lot number,

Date of administration,

​

Other important vaccine administration tips:
Dos

Do use a separate anatomic site for each injection.

Do label vaccines if more than one are drawn up together. This will help with documenting which vaccines were given in which site.

Do ensure that the person who drew up the vaccine administers it. This will reduce errors.

Do wash hands between patient encounters and before preparing vaccines.

​Do wear gloves to administer a vaccine if there is a risk coming into contact with body fluids or if the administrator has open sores or cuts on the hands.

Do consider immunizations for those with only a mild illness. If a child has a moderate or severe illness - rescheduled their immunizations.

Do always screen for other contraindications.

Do use safety syringes to reduce the incidence of needle sticks and disease transmission.

Do check to see what size needle, route and location should be used.

Don'ts

Do not mix separate vaccines in the same syringe. If more than one vaccine is being administered to the same limb, injection sites should be 1 to 2 inches apart so that any reactions can be determined.

Do not pre-draw your own syringes - these are vaccines that are drawn up in syringes and laid out at the beginning of the day or significantly before administration. It is ok to use prefilled syringes that come as single doses from the manufacturer.

Consider

Some immunizations come with a diluent and must be reconstituted, whereas others do not. Always follow the current recommended immunization schedule.
