This project is designed to build on the American Pharmacists Association's “Immunization Neighborhood” model by increasing the number of adults and children/adolescents who receive immunizations (including special populations and those with chronic health conditions), through interactions with their local pharmacists. The activities for this project are designed to increase pharmacists’ competencies with immunizations through interactive webinars and continuing education modules, collaborating with other healthcare providers, and improved referral methods for indicated vaccines, while decreasing and preventing pandemics of vaccine-preventable diseases. APhA Foundation Pilot learnings will be incorporate into project content. Projected outcomes include increasing pharmacist knowledge and competence regarding ACIP schedules, standards, vaccine administration, storage/handling, use of IIS data, referral and collaboration with other stakeholders, and pandemic preparedness and response.
