dc.description.abstractObjectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, Australian community pharmacists delivered a wide range of professional services, including COVID-19 vaccinations. The aim of this study was to understand the reasons for and attitudes of consumers receiving COVID-19 vaccinations from community pharmacists. Methods: A nationwide anonymous online survey recruited consumers above the age of 18 years who had received their COVID-19 vaccinations at community pharmacies between September 2021 and April 2022. Key findings: COVID-19 vaccinations at community pharmacies were positively received by consumers due to their convenience and accessibility. Conclusions: Future health strategies should utilise the highly trained workforce of community pharmacists for wider public outreach.
