In a recent interview with Specialty Pharmacy Continuum, AMCP CEO Susan Cantrell explained the central role pharmacists play in combating vaccine hesitancy. After all, “you can’t turn on the TV or scroll through social media without seeing misinformation around vaccinations,” said Susan.

Pharmacists are stepping up to lead the charge against vaccine hesitancy. With their accessibility and trusted relationships, they’re helping patients understand the science behind vaccines.

“Making sure that pharmacists are as accessible as possible can play a critical role in ensuring that patients and the public understand the science behind vaccines so that they can make the right decisions,” Cantrell said.

🏛️ Federal Update: Trump Administration Releases the Make Our Children Healthy Again Strategy

On September 9, 2025, the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission released the “Make Our Children Healthy Again (MOCHA) Strategy,” which follows an earlier report that assessed key drivers of childhood chronic disease, including poor diet, chemical exposure, lack of physical activity and chronic stress, and overmedicalization.

The strategy is a high-level document that lacks clarity on which existing authorities the administration may use to implement policy changes, how proposed research priorities and policy initiatives will interact with existing programs, and what the commission intends with priorities like artificial intelligence and Medicaid quality metrics. AMCP will look for opportunities to engage with the Trump administration to gain further clarity on the MOCHA Strategy and elevate managed care pharmacists’ role in improving population health.
