WASHINGTON, Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- With school sessions resuming and the fall vaccination season fast approaching, the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) is offering reporters and editors opportunities to interview practicing pharmacists about the latest guidance on vaccinations for COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and seasonal influenza.
Pharmacists are available to discuss the following:
The most current recommendations for the COVID-19 vaccine and possible future recommendations
The most current recommendations for the RSV vaccine, such as who should get it and when
The most current recommendations for the 2023–2024 seasonal flu vaccine
These interviews can be conducted live or recorded for future publication and broadcast.
Why it matters
Weekly hospital admissions for COVID-19 are rising for the first time since last winter.
Public health experts are concerned about the possibility that Americans may be vulnerable to a "tripledemic" of the flu, RSV, and COVID-19 this fall and winter.
Pharmacists are among the leading providers of routine vaccinations across the country. Recent studies have found that pharmacists have administered the majority of COVID-19 vaccinations, with more than 305 million doses of the vaccine delivered by pharmacists through May 2023.
APhA also observes National Immunization Awareness Month, an annual CDC program that highlights the importance of routine vaccination for people of all ages.
