Resources for patients or the general public
Vulnerable populations, such as individuals with chronic conditions, older adults and pregnant people need reliable, accurate, and understandable information about vaccines from trusted sources. In this section, FIP provides a range of resources to be displayed at pharmacies or offered to patients and community members, to help them make informed decisions about getting vaccinated, protecting their health, and safeguarding the well-being of the community.
The materials in this page will help understanding how vaccines contribute to an improved quality of life and support learning about the importance of vaccination for different life stages and health conditions.

They also include a set of questions to prompt people to consult their pharmacist about vaccines. Pharmacists may decide to display posters on rotation, or at particular times of the year, such as around disease awareness days.
