There is now a greater recognition that Care Support Workers, HCAs and administrative staff can be a valuable addition to teams delivering the vaccination programme. Given the necessity to deliver very large numbers of adult Flu vaccine in a short time period every year, and the fact that Shingles and Pneumococcal vaccines are often opportunistically given to older adults at the same time as the Flu vaccine.
The minimum standard of training will be delivered to staff capable to administer Influenza, Shingles and Pneumococcal vaccination to adults.
