Immunisation for Health Practitioners (306) Assessment 4 Worksheet

This assignment is a comprehensive catch-up worksheet designed for health practitioners, focusing on immunisation schedules and vaccine administration. It includes tables for catch-up vaccinations for children under and over 10 years of age, referencing the Australian Immunisation Handbook. The worksheet requires the student to determine the number of doses required, dose intervals, and vaccine brand names. It also presents a vaccine administration table, detailing routes, sites, needle gauges, and patient positioning for various vaccines like Rotavirus, MMR, and DTPa-IPV. The assignment is based on a scenario involving a five-year-old child, Mia, who needs to catch up on her vaccinations, and addresses the importance of addressing community outbreaks and providing culturally informed immunisation services. References from the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) and the National HPV Vaccination Program Register are also included.
