In many countries, expanding vaccination pathways and providers has been met with concerns from those healthcare professionals who have traditionally led vaccination services. However, in several countries where pharmacist-led vaccination has been in place for years or even decades, this opposition has disappeared or significantly subsided, as it became clear that vaccination by pharmacists was safe, easily accessible and professional, that overall vaccination coverage increased and that the service provided value to individuals and societies. International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has advocated for a greater participation of pharmacists in the vaccination space through a variety of roles, ranging from improving community awareness and providing evidence-based advice, addressing vaccine hesitancy and concerns, distributing and dispensing vaccines, administering vaccines and updating vaccination records.
