“…Another example is in Ireland, where community pharmacists gave over 50,000 patients (a tenth of people vaccinated) the lu vaccine in 2014. In 2015, owing to the scheme's success, the pharmacist remit was increased to include pneumococcal and shingles vaccines (Blair and Menon, 2018).…”

Data collected after asking parents about their children behavior during quarantine, among the survey completers (n=469), 42.3% were female children, and 57.7 were male children.

“…Community pharmacy provides an important primary care service for infants, children and young people and their parents (Alexander & Blair, 2018;Blair & Menon, 2018). We know that in many countries, pharmacy is considered an important source of health advice and is used widely before visiting traditional primary care services, and pharmacies have the potential for easier access because of longer opening hours.…”

“…The use of a consulting room in a pharmacy is increasingly viewed as good practice and good for business. Certainly, privacy and confidentiality are very important to children and young people (see also Chapter 3; Alma, Mahtani, Palant, Klůzová Kráčmarová, & Prinjha, 2017;Blair & Menon, 2018). If the pharmacy is to be increasingly used as a source of initial primary care advice, prioritising the privacy of the customers raises the standard of care in pharmacies.…”

There is more to primary care than solely medical and nursing services. Models of Child Health Appraised (MOCHA) explored the role of the professions of pharmacy, dental health and social care as examples of affiliate contributors to primary care in providing health advice and treatment to children and young people. Pharmacies are much used, but their value as a resource for children seems to be insufficiently recognised in most European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries. Advice from a pharmacist is invaluable, particularly because many medicines for children are only available off-label, or not available in the correct dose, access to a pharmacist for simple queries around certain health issues is often easier and quicker than access to a primary care physician or nursing service. Preventive dentistry is available throughout the EU and EEA, but there are few targeted incentives to ensure all children receive the service, and accessibility to dental treatment is variable, particularly for disabled children or those with specific health needs. Social care services are an essential part of health care for many extremely vulnerable children, for example those with complex care needs. Mapping social care services and the interaction with health services is challenging due to their fragmented provision and the variability of access across the EU and EEA. A lack of coherent structure of the health and social care interface requires parents or other family members to navigate complex systems with little assistance. The needs of pharmacy, dentistry and social care are varied and interwoven with needs from each other and from the healthcare system. Yet, because

Community pharmacy (CP) is a highly accessible health service with numerous services for children and young people (CYP), e.g. child vaccination and minor ailment services, (Blair & Menon, 2018; NHS Digital, 2018;Todd et al., 2015). In 2017, 45 million prescription items were dispensed in England for CYP (NHS Digital, 2018). Children are dependent on their parents or carers, so they need different approaches to the integration of services. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines on medicine optimisation, published in March 2015, emphasised the CP roles within the optimisation agenda (NICE, 2015). Community pharmacies make a
