Pharmacy Techs Can Now Administer Flu Shots

Under HHS authorization (PREP Act 10.20.20) trained pharmacy technicians can administer COVID-19 vaccines and ACIP recommended childhood vaccines.

And now, through the 8th amendment (August 4, 2021) issued by HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, pharmacy techs can also administer seasonal influenza vaccines as recommended by ACIP.

Pharmacy techs must complete ACPE accredited training and operate under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist who is also trained according to state guidelines.

GPhA is offering the accredited training! Pharmacy techs will complete 3 hours of home-study and then attend the 3-hour live training on Saturday, October 16, 2021, in Sandy Springs. Space is limited so don’t wait!  Click here for all of the details and to register now!
