Yes we will do over 3k flu vaccinations this season at out location. Most doctors dont give shots nearly as often anymore. Except for infants. Adults get shingles, tetanus, hepatitis, flu, mmr, yellow fever and so on at pharmacy. We have collaborative agreement allows us to prescribe and give shots.
Some states may not allow this but it's a skill that takes 5 minutes to figure out. |
Got it - I got mine at CVS and Costco in the past, and I think they have med techs - haven't had a pharmacist yet. CA changed regs to allow housekeeping in a hospital to give meds, until they killed someone...
