Completed all the prerequisites within the states of MO and KS (I work right on the state line) and am proud to be officially administering COVID-19 immunizations now!

Also sat for the PTCB Immunization exam as well.... eagerly anticipating the results for another potential feather in my CPhT cap!

Today is #pharmacy24, an international event to celebrate the breadth and diversity of pharmacy. The theme for this year is "The role of pharmacy in the COVID-19 pandemic and diversity within the profession." It’s a perfect day to share the important work pharmacy technicians have been doing during the pandemic across the US.

Follow along on Twitter as we share a month-by-month look at how PTCB CPhTs have supported the battle against COVID-19 during the past year. Join the conversation and share your own stories!

I was hesitant at first myself but if you think of it this way. I don’t know what will happen if I get COVID-19 at all. I could be fine it end up in the hospital. I just don’t want that and I can’t have that. I just feel that I would be safer getting the vaccine. I am getting it soon. I will post when I get it. Good luck 🍀

PTCB is proud to see CPhTs embracing opportunities for expanding their roles and supporting the demand for immunizations. In 2021, PTCB will launch the Immunization Administration Certificate, a credential that can count toward becoming an Advanced Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT-Adv).
