Abstract
|
|
|
Background : The National Medical Center is a central infectious disease hospital and is responsible for preventing and managing infectious diseases. Accordingly, we intend to develop evidence-based guidelines to highlight the need for pharmacist roles in vaccine management, and further consider the role of pharmacists in the entire area of immunization.
Methods : Using Google Scholar and Pubmed databases, documents searched for keywords such as “immunization” and “pharmaceutical guideline” were listed. Based on these listed documents, the final guidelines necessary for establishing guidelines were selected through peer review.
Results : COVID-19 vaccine management guidelines were developed through five selected guidelines, and this was applied to the work of pharmacists at the Central Vaccination Center. The role of pharmacists was summarized as building and spreading standard models, maintaining cold chains, preventing errors in drug use, and managing adverse reactions. Furthermore, it could be posited that the expertise of pharmacists is required in vaccine management.
Conclusion : It is necessary to expand the role of pharmacists legally and institutionally to expand the function of pharmacists, which were limited to the storage, management, and information provision of vaccines, and to improve the efficiency of public health.
