As the nation continues to combat the COVID-19 virus and emerging variants, it remains more important than ever for Americans to stay current with vaccinations and other critical health and wellness needs.
NACDS today submitted a letter to the Biden Administration conveying recommendations that would help ensure that the eligible public can efficiently and effectively access additional COVID-19 doses at their local pharmacies.
Over the past 18 months, pharmacy has gone from one of the nation’s great hopes to one of the nation’s true heroes in the response to COVID-19.
NACDS joined the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and 20 other patient-centered organizations and national health groups in urging pregnant individuals — along with recently pregnant, planning to become pregnant, lactating and other eligible individuals — to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
HHS announcement: “The [PREP Act] amendment expands the authorization for qualified pharmacy technicians and interns to administer seasonal influenza vaccines under the supervision of a pharmacist to persons aged 19 and older consistent with ACIP recommendations”.
NACDS campaign demonstrates heroic work of NACDS members and pharmacy teams throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and in vaccinating America.
New Federal Retail Pharmacy Program (FRPP) data showcased by The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention highlight yet another example of how central pharmacies are to the nation’s ongoing vaccination campaign.
NACDS members and a June 25 NACDS letter urged the Biden Administration to enforce the preemptive nature of the federal PREP Act, even as some states’ emergency orders end.
Thank you to America’s pharmacy teams for helping to make 2021’s July 4th celebrations just that – true celebrations!
To reach the nation’s goal of administering at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine to 70% of U.S. adults by the Fourth of July, Republican, Democratic and Independent mayors are urging members of their communities who have not yet been vaccinated to join with them in receiving their COVID-19 vaccine.
