During the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of things fell by the wayside. Unfortunately, for many, routine vaccinations fell into that category. That’s why the CDC developed RISE – Routine Immunizations on Schedule for Everyone – an initiative that uses evidence-based strategies and available resources and data to encourage folks to catch up on routine vaccinations and communicate why being up to date on routine vaccinations is critical for staying healthy so that families and adults can make informed decisions. Community pharmacists can play a major part in RISE.
