About

This article describes a survey of H1N1 vaccine providers in Washington State during the 2009 pandemic. It highlights differences among provider types, such as pharmacists, obstetricians, and correctional health-care providers. Pharmacists had higher patient volumes but lower staff vaccination rates and less training for emergencies. They relied more on federal information than local sources. The study suggests improving communication between public health agencies and various healthcare providers to enhance emergency response capabilities. It emphasizes the importance of preparation, training, collaboration, and clear communication for effective public health emergency responses involving vaccines or other countermeasures.
