Just received the pneumonia vaccine at my local pharmacy. Allowing pharmacists to vaccinate and to prescribe certain medications is an effective and sensible approach to streamlining and reducing the cost of our medical system.
My CVS pharmacist Matt in Asheville was a vital part of my healthcare program. He understood my allergies, financial constraints, preferences etc.
He gave great OTC options to scripts. Urged me to get vaccines at specific times thus maximizing their effects. Told me what was on sale, clearance etc.
I miss him madly now that I’ve moved.
@LnzyHou you should have taken him with you when you left! 😃
I tried. His wife said no.
@LnzyHou @kendonnelly l have a pharmacist like that! We moved across town 3 years ago, but l’ve kept my RXs with Joon.
@kendonnelly
It was. Even called him for advice.
