Course Information
Why should I take this course?
This micro skills course from NHS Health Education England This session provides information about the COVID-19 national vaccination programme which was introduced in the UK in December 2020 to prevent further cases of, and deaths from, novel Coronavirus. It is designed to provide healthcare practitioners involved in delivering the national COVID-19 vaccination programme with the knowledge they need to safely and effectively deliver the programme and to promote high uptake of the vaccine. It will cover the core knowledge areas including vaccine eligibility and legal aspects. After completing this session and the accompanying knowledge assessment session, those with a role in delivering or advising on the COVID-19 vaccines should complete the vaccine specific sessions. The information presented in this core session was correct at the time of publication. As COVID-19 is an evolving disease, the knowledge base is still being developed and some of the information may change. Updates are made to this programme as new information becomes available.
