National Defence and Military Immunisation Training
Over the years, the topic of vaccinations has become a tricky subject to discuss openly. That’s why RIVA’s training goes far beyond simply going through the motions of administering a vaccine.
Our vaccination courses instill confidence and competence in equal measure through expert insights. Our participants leave with the ability to administer vaccinations and discuss them comprehensively with patients.
