Immunisation Update - Adverse Events following Immunisation

Immunisation Update - Adverse Events following Immunisation
There may be times when nurse immunisers witness individuals experiencing an adverse event following immunisation (AEFI) including anaphylaxis or a vasovagal. It is necessary to recognise and treat these signs and symptoms quickly as per best practice to avoid serious harm. This workshop offers a theoretical and practical component on recognising and treating AEFI's in your care.

This course is suitable for health practitioners who administer immunisations or care for patients receiving immunisation.
