THIS week's contributor is Anna Paonne, Product Manager, GuildLink - GuildCare pharmacy vaccination support: Over the past three months, we have made numerous changes in GuildCare NG to help drive influenza vaccination in pharmacy and support community health.
Across Australia, most states have amended immunisation legislation, lowering the vaccination age of patients and increasing in the range of vaccinations able to be administered by pharmacy.
One of our commitments is that we will implement state vaccination legislation changes within 24 hours of passing, to ensure pharmacies are able to provide continuous vaccination healthcare to patients.
To help you deliver increased vaccination support to patients this flu season, we have updated the range of influenza vaccinations available within GuildCare NG and enhanced your ability to communicate to patients the availability of vaccination services through our improved Bulk Messaging feature and new myPharmacyLink Promote myPharmacy Services features via the app.
Through GuildCare NG, we are also supporting pharmacies taking part in the Guild Corporate Vaccination Program.
The ability to administer vaccinations is crucial to the community healthcare provided by Australian pharmacies. We recommend pharmacists familiarise themselves with these features to help manage the expected increased demand for vaccination services during this flu season.
