This report summarizes the findings of a mixed-methods environmental scan sponsored by the CDC and conducted by AIM and Mathematica to investigate pharmacists’ experiences and perspectives in offering pediatric COVID-19 vaccinations and the feasibility of participation in the VFC program after COVID-19 vaccine commercialization. Our findings are based on data collected in August and September 2023, as plans for the commercialization of the COVID-19 vaccines were still under development. As such, some results may no longer be relevant, and we have included footnotes with explanations about changes that have occurred since the data was collected.
