Worldwide, there is a significant expansion of pharmacists' contribution to vaccination, as more countries are authorising pharmacists to deliver this healthcare and public health service. However, limited and inequitable access to vaccines in some countries, as well as vaccine misinformation and hesitancy, remain significant. The role of pharmacists, as widely documented during the pandemic, further reemphasises the importance of pharmacy-based vaccination in health promotion. This event will explore strategies that can be useful in tacking vaccine hesitancy in communities, highlight the economic value of pharmacy-based vaccination to the healthcare system, and further advocate for extended pharmaceutical services in vaccination.
