Adult immunisation: Closing the gap through proactive and systematic preventive care (part 1)

20 October 2026

The global health landscape continues to face unprecedented pressures and rapid change from the rising burden of chronic diseases, emphasising the relevance of vaccination even further. Improving vaccination coverage remains a global public health priority, particularly among adult populations where coverage often lags behind national targets. The societal value of adult vaccination is no longer in dispute, but uptake and coverage gaps mean that value is being systematically forfeited. These connections create unique opportunities for pharmacists to support more integrated and proactive patient care.

Check out this Coffee with FIP podcast where we will explore pharmacy-led prevention, early detection, behaviour change and interprofessional collaboration to increase vaccine uptake and coverage for older adults.
