Pharmacy students successfully administered thousands of adult immunizations in community clinics. This hands-on experience enhanced student confidence and met accreditation standards for direct patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Immunization Practice
  • Community Pharmacy

Background:

  • Accreditation standards require pharmacy students to gain direct patient care experience.
  • Community pharmacies are key sites for adult immunizations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate a requirement for second- (P2) and third- (P3) professional year pharmacy students to administer adult vaccinations.
  • To assess the impact of this requirement on student learning and confidence.

Main Methods:

  • P2 and P3 students received training in vaccine administration.
  • Students administered influenza, pneumococcal, and other vaccines in community pharmacy clinics under supervision.
  • Surveys evaluated student and preceptor perceptions of the experience.

Main Results:

  • Students administered approximately 20,000 adult immunizations over two years.
  • Both students and preceptors found the vaccination requirement appropriate and beneficial.
  • Preceptors rated the value of student immunization services highly (mean score 9.2/10).

Conclusions:

  • A requirement for pharmacy students to administer adult vaccines in community pharmacies was successfully implemented.
  • The program aligns with accreditation requirements for direct patient care experiences.
  • The initiative enhanced student self-confidence and practical skills in immunization.
