A literature review “Protecting the Herd: Why Pharmacists Matter in Mass Vaccination”, conducted by the University of Tasmania and the University of Canberra looked at Australian healthcare workforce capability and existing policy for mass vaccination and the potential role of the pharmacist.
The research, published in the journal Pharmacy, reveals that the pandemic has underscored the significance of pharmacies and pharmacists to the Australian healthcare system and public health.
It has also underscored the critical need for the government to consider Australia’s healthcare workforce in preparation for mass vaccination, according to the authors.Producer/Author Retail Pharmacy Persons Mary BUSHELL, Mark NAUNTON
