Join us in person for a focused session examining the vital role of immunisation in preventing illness and reducing hospitalisations among aged care residents.

Explore vaccination as a key preventive strategy to minimise vaccine preventable disease outbreaks in Residential Aged Care Homes (RACHs). Attendees will gain practical insights into AIR use, cold chain management and effective tracking of resident's vaccinationstatus to improve workflow processes.

The session will cover Medicare billing pathways, including MBS items, pharmacy reimbursement, and key aspects of the ACOP program and NIP, while also highlighting ways to strengthen collaboration between pharmacist immunisers and RACHs.

Learn clinician-led approaches to managing vaccine hesitancy through evidence-based communication techniques with residents and families.

Ideal for GPs, nurses, pharmacists, and aged care professionals, this event provides valuable tools to strengthen immunisation delivery, improve coverage, and support healthier ageing outcomes in RACH's.

Arrival drink and dinner provided.
