COVID-19 Vaccine Training on Immunization Practice Strategies (T.I.P.S.)
TAPI, in collaboration with the Arizona Department of Health Services Immunization Program, presents free trainings that improve immunization practices in public and private providers’ offices. Participants receive valuable information on immunization friendly office practices, vaccine handling, state requirements, how to give shots and the state immunization registry.
- Are you a COVID-19 vaccine provider who has been onboarded and activated by ADHS?
- Do you want to know more about the State of the Pandemic?
- Do you want to know more about billing & the new AHCCCS reimbursement rate? ​
If so – this training is for you!​
TAPI is working hard to provide the most relevant and updated information that providers need to know about COVID-19 to help keep you and your patients safe during this difficult time. Please remember that vaccination access and information is changing quickly, so check back frequently for the most up-to-date information.Â
