The Immunisation Update (external site) has been developed by the CDCD and is offered free of charge. Providing WA immunisation providers with this update creates an opportunity for 24/7 access to current immunisation education. The online version creates a solution to the provision of immunisation updates, in an efficient and effective manner to immunisation service providers.
Although nurses with immunisation certification are required to undertake an annual update to maintain their certification, the update is also available to all immunisation providers as a tool to increase immunisation knowledge.
