Pharmacists Prepare to Deliver COVID-19 Preventive Vaccines

A new survey published by the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) on August 31, 2020, shows most pharmacists (86%) in the USA are preparing to deliver coronavirus vaccines when they are approved. 

And, this data indicates access to the new coronavirus vaccines will be enhanced. Almost 80% of community pharmacists in the USA operate in locations with fewer than 50,000 residents.

“Penetrating medically underserved communities will be a challenge for public health officials. What this data shows is that community pharmacies must be part of the solution," stated NCPA's CEO Douglas Hoey.
