THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia's Queensland Branch has announced the success of the 2017 Guild Corporate Vaccination Program, supporting member pharmacies to administer influenza vaccinations to employees from five State Government departments (PD 12 May).
Queensland Branch president Tim Logan said that 250 member pharmacies administered 1,527 vaccinations to State Government employees, as part of the eight-week program.
"The wide-reaching network of Guild members across metropolitan and regional Queensland provided Department employees with a safe and convenient location to receive their flu vaccination," Logan said.
"The remunerated program resulted in $41,712 worth of additional income for Queensland member pharmacies and, importantly, established health benefits for state Department employees who may not have otherwise received their flu vaccination.
"We look forward to growing the corporate vaccination program in the future, to include more eligible employees as well as participating member pharmacies," Logan said.
The Queensland Branch partnered with GuildLink to provide access to the new cloud based GuildCare NG platform to manage bookings for vaccinations administered as part of the program.
GuildLink ceo Ross Gallagher said, "GuildCare NG allowed Department employees to instantly book online, at their preferred pharmacy and location, providing a streamlined process for both the employee and the pharmacy."
Plans are afoot to expand the program in 2018 - for more on this contact 07 3831 3788 or email business.support@qldguild.org.au.
