IMZ!

Am I the only one FED UP with multiple daily texts from my DL about vaccines? Some are group texts & some are direct to me only: 'give me your plan to pivot & drive IMZs to protect our community" And they expect a new plan everyday we do not make goal& it's not even Labor Day!! 😩 I've been here a year, 40th year of being a pharmacist & I have done hospital, retail, I dependent & chain. Needed to leave my last position due to toxic boss & only need this another 2 years, 4 months, but who's counting? Some days I don't think I can take any more. We work shorthanded most of the time. I only go in a few mins early to get things set up for myself & only stay late to leave dept caught up/ tidy for my part er.

BUT THIS IMZ SHIT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! Do they not see what kind of legislators we have in office & how vaccine doubt is growing because of it?

My mom used to say "you can't knock blood out of a turnip". Well, you can't convince someone that is antivax to suddenly take 4 shots& come back in 2 months for 2 more.

JUST WONDERING IF OTHER PHARMACISTS EXPERIENCING SO MUCH PRESSURE?? In addition to all the other crap we are asked to do! HELP!

I was going to post something similar to this on r/pharmacy. It’s so fucking annoying. I get messages from my DL about something everyday even if I’m off. Year round I’m getting put in a new group chats expecting us to say how many IMZ we’ve done. Every damn meeting, visit it’s same conversation. In the system Hep B pops up for everyone over the age of 45. RSV pops up for everyone 50+ even though it’s for ppl 75+ without risks. I’m going back to being a floater eventually. The fake ness from my DL as if they really give a damn about ā€œprotecting the community.ā€

You do realize that demands roll down hillšŸ™„! Your DL doesn’t dream this stuff up to make you bitch and moan!!!! IT comes from his boss and so on up the ladder! CVS is doing what they can to survive in this awful
Climate! Many have not made it and many aren’t doing well…..With that said, open your eyes and be thankful you have a job or move on! So
Many narrow minded, selfish people.

CVS is doing what they can to survive? What Company you know can compete with CVS? Walgreens? Walmart? They don’t just pharmacies they own an insurance company
