Utilizing Technicians to provide Immunizations…

“…Technicians were a strong part of the healthcare team when it came to the COVID-19 vaccines. We were reluctant at first, but we realized in order to accommodate all the patients that need vaccines, we need extra hands. Now that we’re two years into this process, a lot of our technicians have taken full control of immunizations and it has lifted the load on the pharmacists…”

“…it’s a no brainer, I don’t know why pharmacies wouldn’t consider providing immunizations – it’s a misconception that you’d be stepping on the toes of providers in your area”

- Brian Pinto, RPH Tiffany Natural Pharmacy Westfield NJ

Growing a business from the ground up with Immunizations...

“When we were formulating our plan to open our pharmacy, we knew clinical services would be a critical component. We are located in a small rural town in southeast Georgia. When we were preparing to open, COVID-19 vaccines were just becoming available under the emergency use authorization, and we applied to become a vaccination site. We were the only pharmacy providing vaccines in several counties. We grew our vaccination business from there.”
