Summary
Practitioners in the field of infectious diseases, microbiology and virology must be proficient in advising on vaccination against communicable diseases. Practitioners must have a working knowledge of World Health Organisation’s (WHO) childhood vaccination schedules, occupationally indicated vaccinations and the use and timing of post-exposure vaccinations. Practitioners should also be aware of adverse event profiles of vaccines and of the contraindications to certain vaccine preparations in certain patient cohorts.
