The Immunisation coordinator will be a source of expertise for professionals, the population and other stakeholders on all matters relating to Immunisation, providing highly specialist advice and second opinions and participating in the developing of standards and audit to underpin best practice, and evaluating new initiatives for Immunisation services. This role will involve working in partnership with key stakeholders to improve uptake of vaccines within our harder to reach communities, ensuring equitable access to vaccinations across the Health Board region.
