Neighbourly Pharmacy is proving that innovation in vaccine delivery can be a coordinated effort in hundreds of pharmacies and across provincial borders. Over a 12-week period, pharmacy teams in close to 300 locations across the country administered more than 4,300 adult immunizations, prioritizing protection against RSV, HPV, pneumococcal disease and shingles (the latter proved most popular). Developed by Neighbourly’s clinical care and patient experience team, the Adult Immunization Initiative used targeted education and workflow optimization to seamlessly integrate vaccine services across its network of pharmacies.Â
