As international travel resumes to pre-COVID levels, many travellers delay vaccinations due to low disease risk perceptions, costs, and access issues. Pharmacists are highly trusted and accessible health professionals and play a vital role in providing preventive care and advice. In Australia, the role of pharmacists in vaccination has evolved significantly, and continues to evolve.
