The flu season is almost here. There are a number of vaccination training requirements that you need to complete. Most of you will only need to complete the declaration of competence. However, there is also a large amount of training that you will need to complete if you have not done so in the past two years. Below is a list of requirements that you need to do starting from now.

Furthermore, PSNC is conducting a webinar on the service on 15th August 2018 to clarify other matters. It is in your interest to register for it.
