Vaccine Coordinator Training Program (VCTP)

The Vaccine Coordinator Training Program (VCTP) was designed to give new Vaccine Coordinators a strong foundation for managing the program within their facility. The VCTP focuses on best practices for vaccine management. Other facility staff that work around or handle vaccine are also encouraged to complete the modules.

Training for flu vaccine: (All vaccine coordinators are required to complete the two training modules below before ordering flu vaccine. Upon completion, follow instructions for saving the certificate to keep for your records.)
