This session will provide an update on current immunisation practices, including key schedules, safety considerations, and best-practice delivery methods. Participants will discuss how consultant pharmacists in a range of settings can review an individual’s immunisation status, identify relevant co-morbidities for consideration, and eligibility for subsidised vs self-funded immunisation. Participants will explore how even without administering any immunisations, consultant pharmacists can support patient education around vaccines and support increased rates of immunisation.
Learning Objectives:
• Discuss how consultant pharmacists in different clinical settings can review an individual's immunisation history.
• Identify recommended and subsidised immunisations for individual patients.
• Describe how consultant pharmacists can support patient education about vaccines and increased immunisation rates.
