Two years is the interval. For pharmacists and interns who initiate and administer vaccines, the board requires at least one hour of immunization–focused continuing education within each two-year renewal cycle to keep their immunization authority current. This keeps practice up-to-date on vaccine storage and handling, administration, patient assessment and contraindications, and required reporting and documentation. Shorter intervals (every six months or every year) aren’t mandated, and longer gaps (every three years) wouldn’t align with the standard licensure renewal timeline or ongoing competency expectations. In short, one hour of immunization CE every two years ensures practitioners stay competent without adding unnecessary burdens, while matching the two-year renewal cycle.
