Abstract
Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused serious health problems globally. This has included increased psychological challenges among frontline healthcare workers (HCWs). Community pharmacists are critical in the fight against COVID-19 and in sensitising the public about vaccinations and other public health interventions. However, little is known about the psychological impact of COVID-19 and the acceptance of vaccinations among community pharmacists in Zambia. Therefore, this study assessed the psychological impact of COVID-19 among community pharmacists in Lusaka, Zambia.
