    Pharmacists play a critical role in protecting patients against seasonal influenza and influenza-related complications

    by advocating for and administrating influenza vaccines

    and supporting adherence with CDC’s influenza antiviral recommendations. While clinical practices have limited hours and typically require appointments, pharmacies often have longer hours, convenient locations, and many do not require appointments, offering another accessible avenue for patients to get their annual influenza vaccines.
