Often, the most vulnerable population groups experience severe or even lethal forms of vaccine-preventable diseases, as well as losses in quality of life, functional ability and productivity. It is essential to identify these groups and their specific vaccination needs, and to take measures to improve vaccine confidence and uptake among them. Pharmacists play a key role in raising awareness and building confidence in vaccines, and in promoting a convenient access to vaccinations. Over several months, FIP organised a series of events focusing on the vaccination needs of several special-risk population groups. With this final event, we invite you to engage with an intersectoral roundtable on this topic and witness the launch of a summary publication and a series of short videos to support pharmacists in these roles.
