OSPA Receives Partnership Award from APhA

Oregon Pharmacists Association (OSPA) has played a pivotal role in increasing immunization rates in Oregon. OSPA was instrumental in gaining legislative approval for the administration of all adult immunizations by pharmacists without a collaborative agreement making them the first in the nation. The authority for pharmacists’ immunization activity comes from the state’s public health law. Today more than 750 Oregon pharmacists participate in immunization activities. OSPA has worked in partnership with the State Immunization Coalition and State Health Department supporting the ongoing coalition mission of “Work together to reduce the burden of vaccine preventable disease in Oregon adults.” Additionally, the Oregon Immunization Program and the OSPA have forged a vital relationship that includes collaboration on pharmacy protocols for immunization, outreach to independent pharmacy sites, piloting various pharmacy-based interventions, regular pharmacy student internships, and collaboration on the pharmacy provision of travel vaccines.
