NEW YORK - Your regular neighborhood pharmacist, however, has some now.
Local drug owners are filling the void because federal, state and county authorities across the country are fighting to get the vaccines needed to crush the COVID-19 epidemic. In a few small towns in the United States, an independent pharmacy is the only local place where residents can get a COVID-19 vaccine and vaccination work is underway.
President Joe Biden has celebrated 50 million dose injections of the COVID-19 vaccine since its recent inauguration, and the vaccine export program continues. However, this huge initiative is currently hampered by the lack of vaccines and whether marginalized people have access to shots.
It is to be hoped, however, that local pharmacies will now play a key role in inoculating more Americans. They have become vaccine suppliers by applying to state health officials and the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program for COVID-19 vaccination, which has been rapidly distributing vaccines across independent-owned pharmacy networks, as well as large national chains.
Jeff Gentius, coronavirus coordinator of the Beadon administration, said at the start of the program last month that about a million pharmacies would receive a total of 1 million doses, joining the program to increase vaccine production. The program does not completely fill the void - there is currently a lack of a retail pharmacy involving more than 400 rural county partnerships.
Vaccination requires a long time and administrative work, all procedures are in place and there is little or no money for pharmacy owners. Which is becoming an obstacle. Unlike the flu and other vaccines, they do not have to pay for the COVID-19 vaccine, but they have administrative costs so they may be able to recover when patients have insurance. However, money is not their immediate concern. All these opportunities and cooperation are needed.
Hillcrust Pharmacy in Vernon, Texas shots their shop as Adam Bayer and his wife go to work. The work can be intense - the first batch of 100 doses took a day and a half to administer the vaccine as well as they must monitor patients for 15 minutes for signs of an allergic reaction.
The buyer applied to be a vaccine supplier.
“We’re calling patients who we know aren’t online,” he says. "My prayer is that we don't put people behind us."
Good Neighbor Pharmacy, a network whose members are participating in the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program, has so far been allocated 5,000,000 doses for pharmacies in Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, Texas and Guam, said Jenny Zilka, senior vice president of the network. . These doses are said to have started arriving in the week of February 11th.
The federal retail pharmacy program is attended by 21 major companies, including major drug stores and grocery chains and public transporters such as Costco and Walmart.
The program has been empowering individuals who are neutral to retailers across the country for decades. In 2015, 36% of the 62,000 pharmacies in the United States were owned by individuals, according to a trade group, the National Community Pharmacists Association.
Customers who cheer and agree when receiving routine prescriptions are now being praised and congratulated by customers, first responders and residents of community support-living centers across the country.
"Calling someone 65, 'I'll give you a vaccine,' is a very profound experience," said Chris Antipas, co-owner of Oster's South Hills Pharmacy in Pittsburgh.
In addition to delivering COVID-19 shots to their stores, pharmacists have also set up mass immunization clinics. They have had experience giving shots - over the years they have provided flu, pneumonia, shingles and other vaccines. However, they need to take extra training before giving them a Cavid-19 shot. Of course the vaccine must be administered and stored and unlike other vaccines, the vaccines must be reported to the health authorities and the name of each dose manufacturer.
Matt Hopp is known as a close-door pharmacy owned by him - it provides support accommodation in the Atlanta region and supplies packaging and medicine for nursing homes. So far the Guardian has provided 1,500 doses for those living with pharmacy assistance and those who have come to driving-clinics.
"We are more focused on getting the vaccine out there and taking it to the weapons.
Many pharmacists, who run mass clinics, are getting help from their community. Antipas said the zamindars, including the school district, fire department and empty stores, were reportedly proposing to use their space.
In the suburbs of Philadelphia, Vaughn received help from other health professionals who volunteered to manage the shots, sometimes over two thousand over an eight-hour period. Amin, owner of Skipack Pharmacy in Skipack Township, Pennsylvania, is planning to set up more clinics.
Pharmacists had to deal with the uncertain pace of vaccine delivery, such as hospital and other medical facilities.
