New guidelines and cold chain education for GPs

To support general practice and other immunisation providers to reduce vaccine wastage, cold chain breaches and potential revaccinations, WA Department of Health has developed an online education module and accompanying cold chain guidelines.

This stand-alone module aims to assist all immunisation providers (clinicians and administration staff) to increase confidence in the safe storage and management of vaccines and reporting potential breaches that may occur.

Registration instructions for accessing the eLearning platform are available on the WA Department of Health Immunisation Education webpage.

Should you encounter any issues with the eLearning Module, please contact immunisation.education@health.wa.gov.au. For vaccine ordering queries, please continue to contact vaccineorders@health.wa.gov.au.
