Increasing adult vaccinations at a regional supermarket chain pharmacy: A multi-site demonstration project

摘要

Background: Millions of American adults do not receive the recommended vaccinations each year. Community pharmacies are well positioned to help fill this gap through easy access and innovative patient-centered interventions. The primary goal of this demonstration project was to implement new notification and motivational interviewing processes at a regional supermarket chain pharmacy to increase the number of influenza, pertussis, pneumococcal, and herpes zoster vaccines provided to adults.
