APhA's Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery (14th Edition) Passed 98.75% score

Which of the following is the best example of a group with which individual pharmacists can collaborate to increase immunization rates in their communities? Feedback Module 1—Collaborating to Improve Vaccination Rates. Pharmacists often work with their local health departments to provide vaccines and public health services in their communities. They may collaborate on various public health outreach and emergency response activities. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is the leading authority in the U.S. that provides comprehensive vaccination recommendations and guidelines. These recommendations are reviewed and approved by the CDC. The National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) is an entity of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NVAC has the responsibility of recommending ways to prevent disease through vaccine development and promoting opportunities to prevent adverse reactions to vaccines. While pharmacists may work with the ACIP, the CDC, and NVAC on immunization initiatives, they do not often collaborate on a local level. 2  1 point Which of the following best describes how to administer MMR vaccine to an adult patient weighing 210 lb?
