THE Queensland Government
has approved legislation to
enable pharmacists to administer
vaccinations to the public in a
community pharmacy.
This legislation will allow trained
pharmacists to vaccinate for
influenza, measles and pertussis,
providing positive health
outcomes for the community.
Guild Queensland Branch
President Mr Tim Logan said
that the change in legislation is
a fantastic example of the Guild
and the PSA working together to
advocate for their members.
Through the joint efforts of the
Queensland Branches of the
Pharmacy Guild of Australia
and PSA as well as Queensland
Health we have pioneered
the regulation of pharmacist’s
delivering immunisations in
pharmacies.
Queensland has been a
national leader in pharmacist
immunisations following the
success of the Queensland
Pharmacy Immunisation
Pilot (QPIP) which has been
strongly supported by James
Cook University, Queensland
University of Technology, PSA
and the Pharmacy Guild of
Australia.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 03 May 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 03 May 16
