“… 38 Incorporating the scope of practice of pharmacists into programmes may also facilitate success in immunisation support programmes. For example, one programme 39 provided influenza vaccinations to persons presenting in the emergency department. Since hospital-based pharmacists were already providing this vaccine in that setting, the implementation of this programme was facilitated by scaling up the existing practice to provide a wide and accessible coverage.…”

“…For example, one programme aimed to increase uptake of the influenza vaccine through providing on-site administration by a pharmacist to persons presenting to an emergency department waiting room for other reasons. 39 Pharmacy and school-based programmes also provide opportunities to engage in dialogue about vaccines and receive on-site immunisation in a convenient and accessible location. 38 Three programmes included intergenerational educators (ie, Elders) and peer supporters from within the community in their delivery model.…”

ObjectiveTo identify, characterise and map the existing knowledge about programmes that provide immunisation support to Canadians and barriers and facilitators to their delivery.DesignScoping review and environmental scan.IntroductionVaccine hesitancy may be associated with unmet support needs of individuals. Immunisation support programmes that provide multicomponent approaches can improve vaccine confidence and equitable access.Inclusion criteriaCanadian programmes that focus on providing information about immunisation for the general public, but excluding articles targeting health professionals. The primary concept involves mapping the characteristics of programmes and our secondary concept examines barriers and facilitators to programme delivery.MethodsThe Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology guided this review, reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. A search strategy was developed and translated for six databases in November 2021 (updated October 2022). Unpublished literature was identified through the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health Grey Matters checklist and other relevant sources. Stakeholders (n=124) from Canadian regional health authorities were also contacted by email for publicly accessible information. Two independent raters screened and extracted data from identified material. Results are presented in tabular form.ResultsThe search strategy and environmental scan resulted in 15 287 sources. A total of 161 full-text sources were reviewed after applying eligibility criteria, resulting in 50 articles. Programmes were delivered in multiple Canadian provinces, focusing on various vaccine types. All programmes aimed to increase vaccine uptake and were mostly provided in person. Multidisciplinary delivery teams based on collaborations among multiple entities were credited as a facilitator to programme delivery across settings. Limitations on programme resources, attitudes of programme staff and participants, and systems organisation were identified as barriers to delivery.ConclusionsThis review highlighted characteristics of immunisation support programmes across various settings and described multiple facilitators and barriers. These findings can inform future interventions that aim to support Canadians in making decisions about immunisation.

“…27 Once the need for vaccination is identified, hospital pharmacists can provide education, facilitate vaccination through policy development and use of standing orders and/or participate in pharmacy-led programs for specific populations. [28][29][30][31][32][33] With specific regard to influenza vaccination, US studies have shown increased coverage rates in jurisdictions where pharmacists can administer influenza vaccine, with an absolute (and sustained) increase ranging from 2.9% to 5%. 25,34,35 Furthermore, a greater number of pharmacists per 1000 population are associated with higher odds of influenza vaccination.…”
