Impact of Pharmacist-led Educational Intervention on Pneumococcal Vaccination Rates in Cancer Patients

The educational content was developed based on research and expert perspectives and included general information about immunization, pneumonia, and pneumococcal vaccines, as well as vaccine myths. This information was first conveyed to the patients verbally, and then booklets with the same material were handed to them. The Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine 13 (PCV13) vaccination was recommended based on Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and national adult immunization guidelines.
