I wanted to express a bit of the backend processes of giving a vaccine and a test. There are mounds of training & paperwork that happens with each vaccine and test that you may not realize.
a) the government requires specific actions be taken to communicate a person as been vaccinated or been given a test. This requires paperwork is manually entered in the system and manually faxed to the persons doctor. Most people don't know their doctors phone number let alone their fax so It requires Pharmacy Techs to locate this information and then to fax it off. Extra steps that take extra time.
Testing supplies have to be ordered and when people make mistakes in their testing procedures it requires another test until it is done perfectly.
It is why Pharmacists, Pharm Technicians, and store managers are working 50+ hours a weeks lately. However we all feel it is worth it as bringing safety to our community (friends and family) is important to all of us.
