Drawing on 17 years’ experience, Theophilos highlighted the breadth of community pharmacy services she provides, anchored by immunisation.
Using her ‘spin-to-win’ wheel, Anna highlighted the inequity experienced by patients across Australia, with regulations preventing pharmacist immunisers being able to fully support the immunisation needs of the communities they serve.
