A flexible choice multicomponent intervention, the \u201cWe Immunize\u201d program, was implemented in Alabama and California community pharmacies, with the goal to enhance pneumococcal and zoster immunization delivery. Limited research has been done to qualitatively understand factors influencing immunization service expansion. Objective: Explore pharmacist perceptions of the We Immunize program in terms of its acceptability, impact, and real-world feasibility, and pharmacist-perceived facilitators and barriers influencing success in immunization delivery enhancement. Methods: This practice-focused qualitative research used semistructured telephone interviews with 14 pharmacists at the completion of the 6-month intervention. Results: Major program implementation facilitators were technician inclusion, workflow changes, training and feedback, goal setting, and enhanced personal selling and marketing activities. Multiple pharmacies increased the number of delivered pneumococcal and zoster immunizations, and increased revenue. Many pharmacists felt professional image, knowledge, skills, roles, and personal satisfaction were enhanced, as were technician knowledge, skills, and roles. Program flexibility, along with multiple perceived benefits, increases the potential for success. Conclusions: The We Immunize program appears to have been viewed positively by participating pharmacists and was seen as having a beneficial impact on immunization delivery in the community pharmacies in which it was implemented.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/8755122519852584","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,15]],"date-time":"2019-06-15T01:18:46Z","timestamp":1560561526000},"page":"208-218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Qualitative Investigation of Community Pharmacy Immunization Enhancement Program Implementation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9294-5225","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sally A.","family":"Huston","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Keck Graduate Institute School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Claremont, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David R.","family":"Ha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Keck Graduate Institute School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Claremont, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lindsey A.","family":"Hohmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Auburn University, Auburn, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tessa J.","family":"Hastings","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Auburn University, Auburn, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kimberly B.","family":"Garza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Auburn University, Auburn, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3497-0406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salisa C.","family":"Westrick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Auburn University, Auburn, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-8755122519852584","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1370\/afm.2017"},{"key":"bibr2-8755122519852584","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.ss6611a1"},{"key":"bibr3-8755122519852584","unstructured":"American Pharmacists Association.
