This study aimed to describe organizational challenges, barriers, facilitators nurses' roles vaccination. As part mixed methods case study, we conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with employed regions across four Canadian provinces: British Columbia, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland Labrador. During interviews, described their activities throughout different phases pandemic, factors that facilitated or impeded efforts, potential contributions could have made. We applied thematic analysis approach analyzed codes related rollout. interviewed 76 (24 NPs, 37 RNs, 15 LPNs/RPNs) between May 2022 January 2023. identified five overarching components rollout influenced perceptions experiences: (1) information, (2) training, (3) coordination, (4) integration, (5) compensation. Participants reported both positive negative experiences vaccine Rapidly evolving information made it difficult for stay informed training delivery posed barriers due time requirements redundancy. Support was often lacking new electronic systems, regional coordination varied, sometimes resulting miscommunication. Delays integrating care, logistical disparities compensation physicians also presented challenges. Findings highlight critical mass campaigns, underscoring need targeted effective streamlined better more equitable Integrating services can enhance future by leveraging expertise improve access delivery.
