Multidisciplinary perspective on a pharmacist-led vaccination clinic in a regional cancer care setting: A qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Immunosuppression in patients with cancer increases susceptibility to vaccine-preventable diseases, with suboptimal vaccination rates attributed to complex treatment schedules, timing of vaccination and uncertainty in relation to vaccination effectiveness. While pharmacists are routinely vaccinating patients in the community, high-risk cohorts, such as oncology patients, often lack access to dedicated vaccine services in hospital outpatient settings.

This study aimed to explore the perspectives of healthcare professional
