Pharmacy-Based Immunization Administration by Pharmacy Technicians (In-Person or Virtual)

The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) Pharmacy-Based Immunization Administration by Pharmacy Technicians training program explores the expanding role of the pharmacy technician by providing additional skills training to administer immunizations. This two-part program emphasizes a health care team collaboration between pharmacists and technicians which seeks to improve population health by increasing immunization rates in states that allow technicians to immunize.  The Pharmacy-Based Immunization Administration by Pharmacy Technicians training program is approved for a total of 6.0 contact hours (2-hour online self-study and a 4-hour live seminar) of continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credit (0.6 CEUs).  Successful completion of the self-study component involves passing the self-study assessment with a grade of 70% or higher. Successful completion of the live seminar component involves attending the full live seminar (In-Person or Virtual), successfully completing the injection technique assessment, and completing the online assessment and evaluation.  This offering is conducted by Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED).
