LS-W1 - Lunch Symposium: Enabling life-course immunisation through pharmacy-based vaccination
Supported by Pfizer
Chair(s)
Introduction
FIP is committed to transforming vaccination by accelerating vaccine equity, access and sustainability through life-course immunisation. It is critical to both recognize and understand the impact of pharmacy-based vaccination delivery on disease prevention throughout life’s ages and stages from childhood (including pregnancy) to late adulthood. This is key to supporting countries to develop policies that enable pharmacies and pharmacists to deliver integrated vaccination services throughout the life-course and as part of wider national immunisation policies.
