For instance, demand for new pharmaceutical services has increased considerably since their introduction in 2022.

Following a comprehensive reform of the pharmacy sector, pharmacies will be able to offer further services from 2027, including a range of vaccinations and blood tests.
These and other facts and figures are presented in a clear and uncluttered format that makes the content easy to understand. The yearbook covers a wide range of international topics including “Pharmacy Density across Europe”, “Supply Shortages in Europe”, “Qualified Pharmacy Professionals from Syria and Ukraine”, “Pharmacy-related Legal Regulations in Europe”, “Pharmacy Services in Europe”, “Comparison by Country: Vaccinations in Pharmacies” and “Value-added Tax on Pharmaceuticals”. There is also a separate chapter on “Europe, Migration and Integration”.
The Yearbook 2026 was first published in German ahead of Pharmacy Day on 7 June. ABDA is the umbrella organisation representing pharmacists in Germany.
