DECLARATION
I understand that authorised vaccinators can independently administer vaccines but cannot prescribe
vaccines.
I understand that authorised vaccinators can only independently administer vaccines that are part of the
National Immunisation Schedule or an officially approved local immunisation programme.
I can competently administer vaccines according to the “Immunisation standards for vaccinators” in the
Ministry of Health Immunisation Handbook.
I understand that vaccinator authorisation does not override my responsibility to work within my scope of
practice as required by the Health Practitioner Competence Assurance Act 2003.
I understand that vaccinator authorisation is not transferable (i.e. a health professional without authorisation
cannot independently administer vaccines on behalf of an authorised vaccinator).
I have a current CPR certificate that meets the “Resuscitation requirements for vaccinators” in the Ministry of
Health Immunisation Handbook.
I declare that all the information that I have provided is true and correct at the time of application.
