Provider-pharmacist education and adherence rates for the oral typhoid vaccine: a pilot study.
In 2002, 35 travelers were surveyed regarding the travel medicine provider and pharmacist education they received, along with self-reported adherence rates for the Ty21a vaccine. The results demonstrated that pharmacy education is minimal and that computerized pharmacy education handouts were not considered helpful by these travelers. Complete adherence was reported at 49%.
