“…Although access to medical offices and vaccines is known to be very low in rural Romania, both practitioner and student respondents were almost entirely urban. The exclusion of other healthcare providers, including nurses and pharmacists, who have traditionally had responsibility for addressing vaccine hesitancy among parents, is also a limitation [ 20 ]. Finally, the small size of the sample of both practitioners and students limits the generalizability of findings to other provider settings and medical schools.…”

“…However, discussions with patients about COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy have been identified by nurses as complex (Cassidy et al, 2021). Nurses identified a lack of guidance for such discussions and patients' mistrust in the system as barriers, although through nurse education and the development nurse-patient relationships these barriers could be addressed (Cassidy et al, 2021).…”

Aims To explore how older people's experiences of COVID‐19 restrictions influenced their decision to receive a vaccine and to support nurse–patient vaccination conversations. Design A longitudinal hermeneutic phenomenological study. The application of the COREQ checklist informed the reporting of this study. Methods Data were collected through semi‐structured telephone interviews with older people (age ≥70) during two national restrictions implemented in England due to COVID‐19. Phase one of interviews occurred between April and July 2020 (six interviews), and phase two of interviews between January and April 2021 (four interviews). Data analysis was performed through content analysis. Results Thirteen older people (mean age 78) worked through six stages about their thoughts and beliefs about receiving a vaccine, which encompassed four of the five elements of the 5C model of vaccine hesitancy, confidence, convenience, calculation, collective, but not complacency. Stages included ‘our only hope is a vaccine’; ‘understanding and acceptance of an effective vaccine’; ‘social responsibility to protect others’; ‘organized but left with unanswered questions’; ‘need to feel secure’ and finally ‘vaccination alone is not enough’. Conclusion The experience of COVID‐19 restrictions by older people informed their approach of engaging with scientific information to inform their decisions to be vaccinated but also developed their sense of collective responsibility to younger generations and those at risk, which informed their adherence to restrictions and the vaccination programme. Impact Nurses are optimally placed to support older people to implement and adhere to national government restrictions as appropriate and prevent obsessive routines, and support discussions and the provision of scientific information on COVID‐19 vaccinations, whilst being inclusive of older peoples' sense of collective responsibility.

“…The studies demonstrate that vaccine is procured, stored and delivered to the users at appropriate conditions through pharmacies and vaccination consultation given by a pharmacist can reduce vaccine refusals or hesitations of the patient. 48,49 It is also one of the services provided by pharmacists to inform and remind patients who need to be vaccinated, but cannot be reached or overlooked within the scope of vaccination programs, and to direct them to the vaccination units.…”

ABS TRACT Cancer patients are one of the susceptible populations at risk of infections due to intensive and immune response-altering treatments. Among the infections, Streptococcus pneumoniae-related infections have a significant impact on cancer patients. These infections can be seen as mild or invasive type which varies in severity according to the type of cancer. Invasive pneumococcal disease is a serious infection that increases morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. Ensuring the integrity of patients' immunity is essential in order to maintain safe and effective cancer treatment processes. International guidelines and health authorities recommend that cancer patients should receive pneumococcal vaccines against pneumococcal diseases. The administration of vaccines in cancer patients is more complicated than in any other patient groups due to ongoing immunosuppressive treatments, which results in not achieved desired rates in pneumococcal vaccination. The vaccination process requires comprehensive assessment of the factors directly related with cancer, such as cancer type/diagnosis, cancer stage, type of treatment and scheduled treatment along with other patient-related factors. Sustainability of immunization in adult population can be achieved by implementation of vaccination programs, although logistics, economic, social, and epidemiological factors hinder its implementation. In order to increase the vaccination rates, health professionals should work in cooperation with the patient. Pharmacists, as healthcare professionals, have contributed to increased vaccination rates in cancer patients by providing vaccine consultancy and as vaccine practitioners in some countries. This review focuses on pneumococcal infections observed in cancer patients, vaccination process, and pharmacist's role in vaccination.
