COLUMBUS, Ohio Pharmacists everywhere are continuing to work hard to get shots into people’s arms.
Ernest Boyd, the executive director for the Ohio Pharmacist Association, says independent pharmacies have played a particular role in vaccinating people, and have also helped with vaccine hesitancy.
“Independent pharmacies have more staff than our chain pharmacies per unit, explained Boyd. What has always been true is that the independent pharmacies overstaff, they have more staff to talk to people. Our chains do a great job, our chain pharmacists do a particular great job.
