Support for pharmacist-provided HPV vaccination: national surveys of U.S. physicians and parents.
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2018 Aug;27(8):970-78. doi: 10.1158/1055-9965.Epi-18-0380.
State laws about pharmacists providing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines vary considerably, limiting many pharmacists' ability to provide this important cancer prevention service. In this study, the investigators characterized physician and parent support for pharmacist-provided HPV vaccination for adolescents who are past due for vaccination. The authors concluded that to increase support for HPV vaccination services, pharmacists should raise awareness about their immunization training and standardize vaccination protocols that ensure coordination with primary care.
