A free online event on vaccination and immunisation in primary care has been launched by The Pharmacist in partnership with education platforms Pulse 365 and Nursing in Practice 365.
The virtual event on Wednesday 6 May is aimed at frontline professionals involved in vaccine delivery and will address vaccine hesitancy, access and new programmes in primary care.

It comes at a time when vaccination delivery in primary care is becoming more complex, with new programmes being introduced, vaccine hesitancy proving harder to address, and inequalities in uptake remaining a persistent challenge.
The programme will feature sessions on pneumococcal disease and shingles, the gonorrhoea vaccine programme, seasonal vaccine selection and procurement, flu, RSV, the wider respiratory vaccine landscape, and travel vaccines.

Two panel discussions will also examine vaccine hesitancy and equity in immunisation at the free online event.
Pharmacists, GPs, nurses and practice managers are all eligible to attend the full-day online event, which will also include speaker presentations, panel discussions and live Q&A sessions throughout the day.
The event is delivered in a partnership between The Pharmacist and Pulse 365, which provides CPD and educational content for GPs, and its equivalent support for nurses, Nursing in Practice 365.
