How COVID-19 Has—and Will Continue to—Transform the Pharmacy

Would it surprise you to know that the COVID-19 pandemic turned pharmacy priorities on its head, which could have the potential of morphing pharmacies into full-fledge healthcare centers over the long term? Pharmacy technicians (aka “techs”) and pharmacists alike were affected by COVID-19. Adding responsibilities of testing for COVID-19 and administering the vaccine in mass volumes when it became available, pharmacists and techs had to shuffle workload and priorities in a way that supported this critical role as healthcare providers. Given the convenience of the local pharmacy to most in the U.S., it’s not hard to imagine the pharmacy providing even more important healthcare services to the community.

And since telehealth was still new to most, being able to connect with pharmacy staff when they couldn’t access their physician office was important.
