Programme Introduction
About this programme
🩺 Medical CME
✅ Case-Based Learning
📊 Guideline-Aligned
Healthcare personnel are exposed to vaccine-preventable diseases at higher rates than the general population simply because of their proximity to patients, specimens and contaminated equipment, and an unvaccinated or under-vaccinated worker can in turn become a source of transmission to already vulnerable patients. Occupational immunisation programmes exist to break that chain in both directions.
Running such a programme well requires more than issuing a policy memo. Occupational health and HR teams need to track who is due for which vaccine, manage exemptions and contraindications, maintain cold chain integrity for stored vaccines, and keep documentation that satisfies accreditation and outbreak-preparedness reviews.
TerraLeap’s course gives occupational health and HR professionals a structured grounding in recommended vaccination schedules for healthcare workers, safe administration principles, recognition of contraindications and adverse events, and the record-keeping practices needed to run a compliant, defensible programme.
The programme also connects day-to-day immunisation administration to the broader infection-prevention and outbreak-preparedness goals that occupational health teams are ultimately accountable for.
Guideline-aligned reasoning — built through real clinical case discussion.
