AB  - SNMMI-TS COVID-19 Task Force recognizes that some nuclear medicine technologists may be asked to administer COVID-19 vaccines, particularly since the procedure of administering an intramuscular (IM) injection is within their scope of practice, even if they have not performed the procedure in some time.5 Administering the COVID-19 vaccine may be the first clinical experience administering a vaccine that some healthcare workers have ever had.3 For this reason, the CDC has organized online COVID-19 vaccination training programs and reference materials for healthcare professionals.3 A brief summary of COVID-19 vaccination procedures and resources to access additional information, training, and self-assessments are provided.
