A new FIP toolkit designed to support countries in advancing pharmacists’ roles in vaccination and improving access to life-course immunisation has been launched today: https://www.fip.org/file/6439. Vaccination remains one of the world’s most effective public health interventions, preventing between 3.5 and 5 million deaths annually. Yet, despite decades of progress, recent disruptions have highlighted the need for resilient, accessible vaccination systems. “Drawing on data from 117 countries collected through FIP’s global vaccination surveillance, this toolkit equips countries with no legal framework for pharmacist-administered vaccination, those exploring pilot models, and those seeking to broaden or optimise their existing programmes,” said FIP CEO Catherine Duggan.
