Multi-dose vials contain more than one dose of a medicine/vaccine in a single vial. Multi-dose vials are more economical, take less time to manufacture and require less storage space than single-use preparations. However, there is an increased risk of infection control breaches associated with their use.
This eLearning is designed for all healthcare professionals who are involved in the administration of vaccines to demonstrate the safe preparation and storage of multi-dose vials. It provides the opportunity to refresh, consolidate and evaluate immunisation knowledge and technical skills.
Upon completion you will be able to:
correctly prepare vaccines from multi-dose vials that require reconstitution
correctly prepare vaccines from multi-dose vials that do not require reconstitution
identify the principles of infection prevention and control required when accessing multi-dose vials
identify the importance of labelling and storage of multi-dose vials
understand the difference between an expiry date and a use by date.
Please allow 30 minutes to complete this course. You must achieve 100% on the quiz in order to pass this eLearning. You have unlimited attempts.
