Jennifer E. Isenor,Jennifer E. Isenor,Nicholas T. Edwards,T.A. Alia,Kathryn Slayter,Donna MacDougall,Shelly A. McNeil,Susan K. Bowles +7 more
TL;DR: All studies reviewed found an increase in vaccine coverage when pharmacists were involved in the immunization process, regardless of role (educator, facilitator, administrator) or vaccine administered, when compared to vaccine provision by traditional providers without pharmacist involvement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beth A. Halperin,Annette Morris,Donna MacKinnon-Cameron,Jill Mutch,Joanne M. Langley,Shelly A. McNeil,Donna MacDougall,Scott A. Halperin +7 more
TL;DR: Although the antibody response to a dose of Tdap in healthy nonpregnant women of child-bearing age and postpartum women occurs by day 14 and is suggestive of an anamnestic immune response, it may not be sufficiently rapid to protect infants in the first weeks of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal influenza vaccination campaigns for health care personnel: systematic review
TL;DR: In nonhospital health care settings, including long-term care facilities, campaigns with a greater variety of components were associated with higher risk ratios, and campaigns involving only education or promotion resulted in minimal changes in vaccination rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving rates of maternal immunization: Challenges and opportunities
TL;DR: A maternal immunization platform is required that normalizes vaccination practice among obstetrical care providers and is supported by basic and continuing education, communication strategy, and a broad range of research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Donna MacDougall,Beth A. Halperin,Donna MacKinnon-Cameron,Li Li,Shelly A. McNeil,Joanne M. Langley,Scott A. Halperin +6 more
TL;DR: Positive attitudes towards vaccines paralleled concern about the burden of illness and confidence in the vaccines, with providers being more aware of disease burden and confident in vaccine effectiveness than the public.
