Vaccines prevent an estimated 2.5 million deaths worldwide each year and are amongst the most cost-effective preventive measures against infectious diseases. Despite the effectiveness and availability of vaccines in many parts of the world, vaccination rates and service uptake remains suboptimal among both healthcare providers and the public. Pharmacists as established advocates, educators as well as qualified providers of vaccinations have a significant role to play in promoting and supporting the uptake of vaccination. Challenges and barriers to pharmacist vaccination are multifactorial, which needs effective strategies to address. Overcoming these barriers will increase the role of pharmacists as vaccinators that ultimately increases public access to vaccination and accurate and reliable information about vaccines.
疫苗每年在全球预防了约 250 万人死亡，是预防传染病最具成本效益的措施之一。尽管疫苗在世界许多地区都具有有效性和可及性，但在医疗保健提供者和公众中，疫苗接种率和服务利用率仍然不理想。药剂师作为既定的倡导者、教育者以及疫苗接种的合格提供者，在促进和支持疫苗接种方面发挥着重要作用。药剂师接种疫苗的挑战和障碍是多方面的，需要采取有效的策略来解决。克服这些障碍将增加药剂师作为疫苗接种者的角色，从而最终增加公众获得疫苗接种的机会以及关于疫苗的准确和可靠信息。
