The World Health Organization lists vaccine hesitancy—concerns related to vaccination or outright refusal to receive vaccines despite availability—as one of the top ten threats to global health in 2019. This threat is evidenced by recent outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases in many high-income countries and the sheer volume of disinformation circulating regarding the recently approved vaccines against novel Sars-Cov-2 virus.

Often times, “one-size-fits-all” vaccine promotion efforts can backfire when presented to individuals who are already sceptical of vaccines. This event will outline evidenced-based strategies for developing pharmacy-led immunization campaigns which communicate the value of vaccines to specific patient groups in order to build vaccine confidence and improve uptake.

Delivered in English with live translation in French and Spanish languages. 

Learning Objectives:
1. Understanding vaccine hesitancy and common reasons behind hesitancy
2. Developing a robust immunization campaign: steps and essential components
3. Assessing the success of immunization campaigns and importance of continuing advocacy

Online delivery of goods became very common nowadays, and even increased during COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdowns. The way consumers obtain medicines, as special type of goods, is also changing. In some countries, buying medicines online is becoming common practice, because buyers are preferring to order their medicines through a click of a button rather than taking a trip to a pharmacy or a drug store. However, online customers may have difficulty knowing whether an Internet pharmacy is a legitimate operation, without the same confidence as they would have had in the neighborhood pharmacy. What are the practices in place to make sure that the online patient or customer can rely that they will receive the medicine they need? What are the advantages and disadvantages to accessing medicines on-line from patients, as well as from pharmacists’ point of view? Since medicines are regulated products and the need for consideration of ethical issues in access to medicines is important, the online pharmacy services have both advantages and disadvantages. What are the medicines patients are allowed to receive online in different countries? What is the scope of online pharmaceutical services vis-à-vis medicine procurement, distribution, online prescriptions, internet drug information, pharmaceutical care services, etc.?

• Implementing healthcare based on information system and technologies (e.g. e-health) had been proposed as a way to improve health services. Hence, the scope of pharmacy practice has expanded to the provision of pharmaceutical services via the internet.
• This session will outline some of the questions around the strengths and weaknesses of the online pharmacies, their threats, but also opportunities for e-pharmacy in the future.
• Some of the largest global e-commerce companies have shown that they have a robust supply chain to really disrupt the existing pharmaceutical supply chain. Pharmacists have responded with concern to these giants’ move into the pharmacy and e-pharmacy market. How can pharmacists take advantage of modern online marketplaces? Does face-to-face interaction with the patient still make a difference? What is the added value of online pharmaceutical care services compared to other e-commerce places?

La grippe saisonnière représente une charge de morbidité importante pour le système de santé et un risque pour plusieurs groupes de population, notamment les personnes âgées, les personnes souffrant d'affections sous-jacentes, les femmes enceintes et d'autres.
La menace d'une deuxième épidémie de COVID-19 est très réelle, et le risque que les deux virus entraînent une morbidité et une mortalité combinées ne peut être négligé.

Ce panel discutera comment plusieurs pays francophones relèvent ce défi grâce à la vaccination en pharmacie, et comment les pharmaciens peuvent contribuer à améliorer la couverture vaccinale contre la grippe et contre d’autres maladies évitables par la vaccination tout au long de la vie. Le panel discutera également du rôle du pharmacien d’officine dans la réponse aux doutes et aux mythes sur les vaccins. Il abordera également la question de la nécessaire collaboration interprofessionnelle et de sa valeur ajoutée pour les patients et pour la société, la vaccination en pharmacie représentant une extension et non un déplacement de l’accès à la vaccination.

Après ce webinaire, les participants devraient comprendre :
1. L'impact de la vaccination en pharmacie sur les taux de couverture vaccinale ;
2. Pourquoi les populations vulnérables (personnes âgées, patients chroniques et professionnels de la santé) devraient être vaccinées contre la grippe, en particulier dans le contexte de la pandémie;
3. Le rôle des pharmaciens dans l’amélioration de la couverture vaccinale tout au long de la vie contre différentes maladies;
4. Les stratégies adoptées par certains pays francophones pour augmenter la couverture vaccinale contre la grippe via les pharmacies et comment ils ont surmonté l'opposition liée aux corporations par des preuves et des approches collaboratives.

What to do next? is a question many young, aspiring pharmaceutical scientists ask themselves as they progress in their education or early on in their careers. This webinar aims to inspire participants that are considering an academic career by showcasing two pharmaceutical researchers who have chosen an academic career. The speakers will reveal what was their motivation and how they navigated to their current position, what from their education was most valuable to their current career, and what experiences they have gained along the way.

Learning objectives:
- Participants will be able to compare an academic career in two different regions.
- Participants will learn what was required for the two speakers to reach their current role and use this to plan their own career.
- Participants will gain insights from the speakers on how to design/fulfill the key steps that make an early career researcher stand out.

Moderators:
- Sifei Han, NHMRC Early Career Fellow, Drug Delivery Disposition & Dynamics, Monash University - Australia
