Authorised vaccinator
Authorised vaccinators are registered health professionals who have completed vaccinator foundation training, a workbook, and a clinical assessment, and are authorised to administer vaccinations. They can administer vaccines listed on the NZ Immunisation Schedule and any other vaccines that are part of an approved immunisation programme to all eligible groups, according to the conditions of their vaccinator authorisation.
Authorisations are valid for two years. Update training and authorisation renewal needs to be completed every two years.
People wishing to become authorised vaccinators need to complete training and apply to their local medical officer of health for authorisation.
