Drug Administration Certification

What do I do when my first aid and CPR has expired and I cannot complete my first aid and CPR recertification until a later day?

Your drug administration certification (DAC) becomes invalid until recertified.  You must not administer any drugs by injection or intranasal route immediately; otherwise, you will be engaging in authorized practice.  You must inform the College immediately to remove your DAC. 

Once you have obtained your first aid and CPR recertification, contact the Registration Department.  You may resume administering drugs by injection or intranasal route once you have successfully recertified your DAC.

I am certified for Drug Administration but I am not currently providing any immunizations via injection or intranasal route because I am in the processing of recertifying my First Aid/CPR as it has recently expired. Is that acceptable?

No, you must maintain at all times valid First Aid and CPR certification throughout your Drug Administration Certification and not let it lapse, otherwise your Drug Administration Certification will no longer be valid.  To become certified again, you may be required to re-complete a CCCEP-accredited drug administration training course and/or First Aid & CPR certification course.
