vaccines are one of the greatest medical discoveries. In various countries, pharmacists are authorised to administer vaccines directly in pharmacies; thus, leading to an increase in the immunisation rate and a notable gain in consensus amongst the population. The main objective was to evaluate the opinion of pharmacy customers regarding the proposal to authorise pharmacies to administer vaccines.
85% of the respondents were in favour of the introduction of a vaccinating pharmacist. The data show more positive attitudes to the introduction of this service amongst subjects with an elderly dependant relative (PR = 1,10; p = 0.025). Furthermore, it can be noticed a higher probability of positive attitudes to the establishment of the vaccinating pharmacist amongst those with positive attitudes to vaccines (PR = 1,15; p = 0.039). Moreover, the pharmacist is seen as a reference on the subject of vaccines by only 8% of interviewees.
The data highlight the particularly positive feedback regarding the subject of pharmacists being authorised to administer vaccines. This service may, however, encounter obstacles such as economic problems and opposition from other health professionals.
Data were gathered through a face-to-face interview by means of questionnaires in eight pharmacies in the north-west of Piedmont (Italy). Descriptive statistics were performed. The comparison between the proportions and average values was performed by χ and t-test. The indicator used for the associations was the Prevalence Ratio (PR). The PR was calculated using a modified Poisson regression with robust standard errors. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05; IC at 95%.
疫苗是最伟大的医学发现之一。在各国，药剂师被授权在药房直接接种疫苗；因此，这导致免疫率的提高，并在民众中获得了显著的共识。主要目的是评估药房客户对授权药房接种疫苗的建议的意见。
85%的受访者赞成引入接种疫苗的药剂师。数据显示，对于有老年依赖亲属的受试者（PR=1.10；p=0.025），对引入这项服务的态度更为积极。此外，对于那些对疫苗持积极态度的人来说，更有可能对设立接种疫苗的药剂师持积极态度（PR=1.15；p=0.039）。此外，只有 8%的受访者认为药剂师是疫苗方面的参考。
数据突出了关于授权药剂师接种疫苗的特别积极的反馈。然而，这项服务可能会遇到一些障碍，如经济问题和其他卫生专业人员的反对。
通过在意大利皮埃蒙特西北部的八家药房进行面对面访谈和问卷调查收集数据。进行描述性统计。通过 χ 和 t 检验比较比例和平均值。关联的指标是患病率比（PR）。使用修正后的泊松回归和稳健标准误差计算 PR。显著性水平固定在 0.05；置信区间为 95%。
