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.
“I hope they can see it’s common sense that all pharmacists, regardless of where you practice, can vaccinate according to the Australian Immunisation Handbook. All Australians deserve the same access to vaccinations regardless of where they live.
