Pre- and Post- COVID-19 Exposure Prophylaxis: Ep3 - A Pharmacist Perspective

IMPACT Medicom

In this podcast series on pre- and post- COVID-19 prophylaxis, we discuss immunization against COVID-19 and how we can protect our most vulnerable populations who are not able to mount a sufficient antibody response to vaccination.
In this third episode of the series, we discuss:

• Response to COVID-19 vaccines in the general population
• Response to COVID-19 vaccines in immunocompromised people
• The evolution of the pharmacist's role in immunization
• The potential role of pre- and post- COVID-19 exposure prophylaxis for people who are immunocompromised

Our Guest:
Our guest is Ajit Johal, who is a clinical instructor for the University of British Columbia Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences Program. Ajit has been providing immunizations and clinical education since 2012. In 2018, he started an organization called immunize.io, with a mission statement of "taking our best shot at immunizing the world". Through "immunize.io" he has worked with numerous organizations and communities to address “vaccine hesitancy” and improve access to vaccinations.
