The APhA Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery certificate training program provided through the Tennessee Pharmacists Research and Education Foundation (TPREF) is a practice-based activity conducted in two parts – a self-study learning component and a live training seminar. A Certificate of Achievement will be awarded to participants who successfully complete all program components.  This is an innovative and interactive program designed to meet state regulations for pharmacy-based immunization delivery. The course will  prepare you to administer vaccines before the upcoming flu season and give you the tools to improve your pharmacy practice, both professionally and financially.

The Immunization Delivery Program is in two parts: 
Self-Study Component
Active (live) Learning Component

Course handbooks that contain materials for both the self study component and the live seminar will be provided to the registrant prior to the program. 

The TPREF reserves the right to cancel the Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery Program and the CPR Course if the required number of participants is not met by July 12, 2010.
