EPELA launches the new authentic e-learning course on VVM based vaccine management


EPELA launches its new authentic e-learning course on VVM based vaccine management. 

The 9-week course takes participants through a sophisticated vaccine chain to make the best use of VVM through ensuring that the vaccines have not been damaged by heat, reducing vaccine wastage, pinpointing cold chain problems, managing stocks, facilitating immunization outreach and increasing access and improving vaccination coverage, preventing inadvertent freezing, and providing hints whether an opened multi-dose vaccine vial may be used in a subsequent immunization session. 

Tools are offered to work in groups, evaluation is done through self, peer and expert reviews. Nobody lectures any participants in this course, but we make expert videos and critical documents available to participants through video and document libraries. 




The course will be mentored by Umit Kartoglu, Julie Milstien, Ticky Raubenheimer and Denis Maire. 















The new course will run as beta-course for the first time between 27 January and 28 March 2014. Regular courses are scheduled to take place during the following periods:

21 April - 20 June 2014

6 October - 5 December 2014
