The Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Training (JKO Course Number DHA-US069) has been updated for the current influenza season. It is designed to meet seasonal influenza vaccination training requirement for medical personnel administering influenza vaccinations.

Note: If you previously took influenza vaccination training through the CDC’s You Call The Shots, that meets this requirement and there is no need to retake training in JKO. Those who previously enrolled in the JKO training but did not complete it will be automatically re-enrolled in the current module released on 21 Sept 2023.
