The Military Vaccine Agency has coordinated Continuing Education credits for a number of the training courses available from Immunization University. We are working to expand the amount and types of CE credits offered.

The courses currently offering CE credits include:

• Immunization Basic Course
• Immunization Leaders Course

• Project Immune Readiness Program

We have partnered with the Navy Medicine Manpower, Personnel, Training & Education Command to offer Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) credits for completion of our Immunization Basic Course (IBC).

Per the tri-service agreement from the Council on Federal Nursing Service Continuing Education which became effective 1 September 2007, nurses of all three branches may now receive contact hour credits when attending a presentation by another service.

We have also partnered with the Air Force, Army, and Navy to provide Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) after completion of the IBC.
