Description

While herpes zoster is often associated with older adults, risk factors extend well beyond age—and many high-risk patients are missed in routine care. In this interactive, implementation-focused workshop, pharmacist's Ajit Johal and Shelitta Dattani draw on real-world success from community pharmacy vaccination programs to demonstrate how pharmacists can systematically identify at-risk patients and integrate shingles vaccination into their daily workflow.


Through practical tools, case studies, and communication strategies, participants will learn how to actively implement patient-centered vaccination programs. Learn how targeted screening, education, and accessible delivery models can increase adult immunization rates, and how this can be directly applied in community pharmacy settings. 
Join us to explore how shifting from opportunistic to proactive immunization models can help uncover hidden risks, engage patients in meaningful conversations, and elevate the role of pharmacists as immunization champions.
