Pharmacy Daily | Immunisation Advantage

ADVANTAGE Group pharmacists including ceo Steven Kastrinakis are now fully accredited to provide immunisation services to prevent influenza and whooping cough. Kastrinakis said this enables all Advantage pharmacists to offer a convenient and accessible service to keep families and individuals protected. “We saw it as critical for our pharmacists to be some of the first trained to deliver immunisations in the state of Victoria,” he said. Each pharmacist in the group has now undergone a full training program with Advantage Pharmacy professional services manager and PSA approved immunisation trainer, Amal Kehila. Kehila says the pharmacists have found the training both engaging and rewarding, “knowing they are leading the expanding role of pharmacists.” The Advantage move follows Victorian approval for accredited pharmacists to administer adult influenza and whooping cough vaccinations (PD 21 Jun).
