title: Building a year-round immunization program.
abstract: Each year, an estimated 55,000 to 80,000 people die from vaccine-preventable diseases. More pharmacists are needed to advocate, facilitate, and deliver immunizations throughout the year. Pharmacists who want to develop a year-round immunization program should begin by developing a comprehensive business plan. By implementing a successful year-round immunization program, pharmacists can reduce morbidity and mortality from a range of vaccine-preventable infections.
