“…Outside the U.S., a recent study of pharmaconomists in Denmark also found a gap between attitude and self-efficacy; that is, they were more positive about the prospects than they were confident in the ability to administer immunization because they had not yet begun to do so. At the same time, however, their professional organizations continue to lobby for a greater scope of practice and demonstration projects to accommodate this possibility [17]. Similar results have been demonstrated for various technician activities in New Zealand and elsewhere [18].…”

Doucette and Schommer recently surveyed U.S. community pharmacy technicians on their willingness to perform tasks including the administration of vaccines. They found that 47.1% of technicians reported they were “unwilling” to administer a vaccine, although this finding must be placed into proper context. The first nationwide survey of U.S. pharmacist perceptions on immunizations in 1998 revealed only 2.2% of pharmacist respondents had administered adult vaccines and only 0.9% had administered childhood vaccines. They also found pharmacists to be “slightly negative on administering immunizations” with many perceived barriers. Nonetheless, pharmacist-provided immunizations have been an unqualified public health success. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) predicts intention from attitude and perceived behavioral control, among other factors. Given low involvement, exposure, and perceived behavioral control to administer vaccinations, technicians’ attitudes or willingness to participate from the Doucette and Shommer study can be regarded as quite positive. Given the results of a successful pilot project in Idaho and that subjective norms and perceived behavioral control will likely shift upward, one can only expect technicians’ willingness to participate in vaccinations to become more favorable and ultimately become a success.

“…Pharmacy technicians have a 3-year education equal to a professional bachelor's degree in pharmaceuticals based on community pharmacy apprenticeship and theory, which is sufficient to counsel most of the patients at the community pharmacy. 6 , 7 All pharmacy staff can refer patients to pharmaceutical care services. However, according to Danish law, NMS must be carried out only by pharmacists.…”
