Pharmacists are well-equipped to provide information to other health care providers on immunizations that may benefit patients, and can administer these immunizations in the pharmacy setting. Pharmacists have positively impacted vaccination rates, especially among patients who infrequently visit other health care providers or have reduced access to care. North Carolina has expanded the list of vaccinations pharmacists can provide, which helps to promote disease prevention and improve population health.
药剂师具备充分的条件,能够就可能使患者受益的免疫接种向其他医疗服务提供者提供信息,并且可以在药房环境中进行这些免疫接种。药剂师对疫苗接种率产生了积极影响,尤其是在那些不常就诊于其他医疗服务提供者或获得医疗服务机会减少的患者中。北卡罗来纳州已经扩大了药剂师可以提供的疫苗接种清单,这有助于促进疾病预防并改善人群健康。
