WASHINGTON, DC – The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy have released two new maps that visualize where community pharmacies offer immunization services in the United States. One interactive map will help patients find vaccinations close to home at easily accessible community pharmacies. A second map allows health care professionals and public health planners to explore geographic areas and vulnerable populations where pharmacists can be partners in expanding immunization efforts. These maps will be updated regularly to reflect pharmacy location changes to ensure accurate information.
