The vaccination programme includes different training pathways for individuals applying for vaccinator roles depending on their qualifications, experience, clinical training and registration status.

The training is designed to be completed at the individual’s pace and the criteria for completing certain modules will vary. Therefore, the length of time it may take a medically qualified person who is registered will also vary depending on their previous vaccination experience and that relevant training is up to date.
