About This Curriculum
COVID-19 has affected patients of all ages, genders, and races with severity ranging from mild to fatal. Since January 2020, there have been millions of diagnosed cases of COVID-19 and thousands of deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the United States, still quickly rising. This 10-hour curriculum will equip pharmacists and technicians with CDC-recommended training as vaccination providers. Furthermore, it will highlight the most current prevention strategies, testing options, treatment agents, and the utility of approved and emerging vaccines.
As new testing devices, therapies, and vaccines are approved, patients will be dependent on their health care providers for answers and education. Therefore, select modules of this curriculum will be updated throughout the next 12 months to ensure participants have the most current information and data. This series will highlight techniques participants should use when administering the COVID-19 vaccines, approaches to address patient barriers, and ways to debunk myths associated with the virus and available vaccines.
