Pharmacist-led vaccination services in the Middle East.
Successful Vaccine uptake relies heavily on the effectiveness of vaccination services. Expanding the scope of pharmacists' involvement in vaccination services can significantly improve vaccination coverage. The level of pharmacists' engagement in immunization services varies globally. The aim of this paper is to describe the current role of pharmacists in vaccination services in the Middle Eastern countries. The provision of vaccination services by pharmacists in the region has evolved notably in recent years. The extent of pharmacists' involvement in immunization services varies from one country to another in the region. They play a more active role in the delivery of vaccinations, not only facilitating but also administering vaccines. Future studies on pharmacist-led vaccination services in these countries are necessary to assess the value of the expanded practice of pharmacists in this field, especially due to the scarcity of evidence.
