[h=1]Facilitating pandemic influenza vaccination implementation in grocery store chain community pharmacies.[/h] Sutt AR, Pagliaro AM, Wilson E, Renner H, Hall DL, Berenbrok LA, McGivney MS, Coley KC.
[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]OBJECTIVE:[/h] The objective of this study was to determine strategies to implement influenza pandemic vaccinations effectively at grocery store chain community pharmacies.
[h=4]METHODS:[/h] Clinical pharmacy coordinators and pharmacy managers representing 3 grocery store chain community pharmacies across Pennsylvania were identified for participation in semistructured telephone interviews. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. Transcripts were independently coded by 2 investigators and coding discrepancies were resolved. A thematic analysis was conducted, and supporting quotes were selected for each theme.
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] Twelve pharmacists participated in the interviews, which were conducted from September 2016 to November 2017. Five key themes were identified: (1) mobilize pharmacy staff members to specific locations to prepare for a high volume of vaccinations; (2) implement vaccination clinics during high-volume scenarios; (3) utilize nonpharmacy spaces to increase vaccination capabilities; (4) determine vaccine distribution by highest risk populations that each pharmacy serves; and (5) conduct training customized to the pharmacy chain that supplements national pandemic influenza training.
[h=4]CONCLUSION:[/h] Grocery store chain community pharmacies are desirable sites for pandemic vaccination because of a variety of factors, such as space and staffing flexibility. Developing a pandemic vaccination plan will enable community pharmacists to contribute more effectively during influenza pandemics.
