Vaccination: Benefits beyond specific disease prevention - Part 2
We all know that the primary goal of vaccination is the prevention of pathogen-specific infection. But what about the indirect benefits of vaccines which drive longer-term immune responses that promote long-term health? This webinar – Part 2 - will share contributions, activities, tools that pharmacists lead and utilise to promote healthy aging in the practice setting. The webinar will highlight the varied but crucial role of pharmacists in vaccination, particularly for older adults, and supporting patients' quality of life.
