About This Curriculum
The development of COVID-19 vaccines has provided health care professionals with an important tool to continue the fight against COVID-19. Pharmacists can contribute to improving patient health during this public health emergency by providing vaccinations as well as educating and counseling patients about COVID-19 vaccines. Each vaccine has unique considerations for storage, adverse effects, and administration in specific population groups. Particularly when addressing patients with vaccine hesitancy, pharmacists must be reliable sources of information regarding the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
This COVID-19 vaccine educational resource center will equip pharmacists with the most up-to-date data available on approved and emerging viral-vector vaccines, strategies to address vaccine hesitancy, and methods to overcoming barriers to vaccination. Pharmacists who participate in all 3 accredited activities may earn a CE certificate demonstrating their dedication to improving vaccination rates and achieving herd immunity through education about COVID-19 vaccines..
