From Covid-19 to an array of vaccine-preventable childhood and other illnesses, vaccine refusal represents a major and ongoing threat to public health. Healthcare providers and pharmacists have been identified as playing a crucial role in addressing vaccine hesitancy. Substantive research points to healthcare providers and pharmacists as the most trusted sources of information regarding vaccination, including among vaccine refusers. However, few providers and pharmacists have had training in communicating to patients and parents the standard of care about vaccine benefits, side effects and risks, and how best to respond to patients’ and parents’ questions and assertions of vaccine myths.
To address this problem, this activity employs evidence-based findings that inform best practices for pharmacists in discussing vaccines with patients and parents to enhance vaccine acceptance.
