It can be hard for pregnant patients to access and receive recommended vaccines. Community pharmacies are well-positioned to help close that gap, but it takes knowledge and connections to do so. Over the past few months, NCPA has produced several resources for community pharmacies seeking to provide vaccinations during pregnancy. You can access them here.
Among the resources are:
-
A thorough guide for community pharmacies planning to provide vaccines during pregnancy.
-
A customizable "Dear doctor" letter for pharmacies seeking to partner with local providers and a sell sheet to accompany it.
-
New episodes of our "Show Me" reality educational series focused on setting up a maternal vaccine program (part one here; part two here).
-
Vaccine Voices, a series of episodes of our Independent Rx Forum podcast focused on various aspects of pharmacy vaccination programs, including topics like medical billing, growing partnerships, and long-term care.
