NACDS and the National Association of County and City Health Officials to hold virtual event on February 25.
Racher Press Vice President and Editor-in-Chief Jeff Woldt interviewed NACDS President & CEO Steven C. Anderson for a 30-minute digital program distributed by Chain Drug Review and Mass Market Retailers.
Virtual event brings together traditional drug and grocery chains with between four and 250 locations, and their supplier partners; features insights and collaboration on diverse health-and-wellness and front-end topics.
During the briefing, NACDS emphasized that pharmacies across America are prepared and have the experience to turn vaccine doses into vaccination appointments, and that the ramp-up will continue as the program is expanded and as vaccine supply becomes available.
“Pharmacies are deeply committed to recovery efforts to re-open America by accelerating COVID vaccinations, expanding COVID testing, administering preventative vaccines, and promoting better community health,” NACDS tells key House subcommittee
“Today’s announcement is another crucial step forward to helping Americans get back to all we need and love – and we look forward to the program being ramped-up as vaccine supply increases. Trusted local pharmacies are ready to turn vaccine doses into vaccination appointments.
To embark on an inspirational hour, ask Fruth Pharmacy President Lynne Fruth, a member of the NACDS Board of Directors, about West Virginia’s success in getting COVID-19 vaccines to patients’ arms. All of her stories contribute to an unmistakable narrative: the priorities of taking care of patients and proving pharmacy’s unique ability to do just that.
Pharmacy group’s integrated campaign demonstrates heroic work of pharmacy teams, collaborating organizations in helping to prevent twin storm of flu and COVID-19 during the 2020-2021 flu season.
Activation of pharmacy program, commitment to data-driven response, and focus on vaccine confidence among plan’s vision.
“Pharmacies and pharmacy teams are ‘all in’ to help all Americans overcome this pandemic and get back to what we need and what we love. It remains our top priority to provide safe and effective COVID-19 vaccinations, efficiently and equitably. "
