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 it must have been great to have such accessible expertise and care!
It was. Even called him for advice.

I tried. His wife said no.
