Core learning resources
The learning resources within this section are designed to be the foundation for your COVID-19 vaccination programme learning. Topics include: What is COVID-19? legal aspects of COVID-19 vaccination including informed consent, COVID-19 Vaccine development and adverse event reporting
The Core Knowledge for COVID-19 Vaccinators elearning resource has been refreshed in August 2022 to reflect the current context of the COVID-19 Vaccination programme.
Spring 2024 Update
To help support practitioners, NHS Education for Scotland/Public Health Scotland have revised and updated the Core COVID-19 vaccination eLearning and the vaccine specific learning resources. A short update learning resource, including details on eligibility for the programme and the vaccines being deployed, has also been developed.
Of note, now that the COVID-19 Vaccination programme has stabilised we have taken the opportunity to move material from the vaccine specific slide sets to units one and three of the core eLearning. The content has remained the same and continues to align with JCVI statements, Green Book Chapter and CMO letters. It is anticipated that this will result in much less duplication for learners, especially experienced vaccinators. The vaccine specific slide sets remain; however, they will relate purely to those specific aspects of the vaccines including composition, storage and handling and presentation.
Both new and experienced vaccinators may find it useful to review both the Core COVID-19 Vaccination eLearning and the COVID-19 vaccine specific slides.
You can find learning resources to support the development of Core COVID-19 knowledge in this section:
