Pharmacists' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding vaccination can significantly influence patients' willingness to receive vaccinations. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of pharmacists toward influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations. On February 17, 2024, a systematic search was conducted in the Medline (via PubMed), Embase (via Ovid), and The Cochrane Library databases, following PRISMA guidelines. Before analyzing the results, the study protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42024566984). Of the 1,209 studies identified, 24 publications met the inclusion criteria for analysis. Most of these ( = 22) were cross-sectional studies using proprietary questionnaires. The studies found that pharmacists possess unsatisfactory knowledge about influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations. Shortcomings in attitudes and beliefs about vaccination safety were also evident, along with a deficiencies of promotion of vaccinations to patients.
