Every year the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) recognizes individual practitioners who have made extraordinary contributions towards improved vaccination rates within their communities. PittPharmacy faculty member Deanne L. Hall, PharmD, CDE, BCACP will be honored with a 2016 Honorable Mention for Individual Practitioners given by the APhA Immunization Champion Awards.
Beginning in 2008, Hall has championed a campus wide initiative to immunize the University's 3,800 full-time faculty and 6,700 full-time staff to influenza. Since then, her outreach has grown to more than 9 influenza clinics around campus which reached more than 3,300 employees last fall.
Hall will receive her award at the APhA Annual Meeting March 4-7, 2016 in Baltimore, Maryland.
Hall is an associate professor in the pharmacy and therapeutics department at PittPharmacy.
