title: [Vaccination and French community pharmacists: from innovative actions to innovative organisations?].
abstract: The situation report of vaccination in France and a methodology of vaccination suggests that some vaccines may opportunely be injected in the pharmacy where and when the relevant vaccine is dispensed. Vaccination by pharmacist could hence mean dispensation, traced administration and documented follow-up. This perspective requires the normative framework, information systems and vocational training to be somewhat adapted, and financial incentives to be aligned. The challenges are cultural and organisational. Pharmacist's optional implication along with the prescriptor would have a major interest in terms of individual protection and cost-effectiveness of public health strategies. It would allow to release and to value medical and nursing time for the benefit of patients. Thanks to gain-sharing organizations, healthcare providers could explore dynamic cooperation.
