Temporary License for Pharmacy Technicians to Administer COVID-19 Vaccines
A message from CNYSHP President, Luke Probst, PharmD, BCPS
Dear Colleagues,
NYSCHP shared information earlier today containing guidance on the process for pharmacy technicians to become eligible to administer COVID-19 vaccines under supervision.
The statutory language is often confusing, so the attached Word document is an attempt to distill the formal PDF notice into a stepwise action plan.
Upstate pharmacy technicians who may be interested in pursuing this temporary licensure are encouraged to review and pursue this opportunity as one more differentiator in your skillset. With the future prospects of COVID-19 vaccination efforts only escalating, your authorization to work in this capacity could serve you well in your professional advancement.
As a reminder, the formalization of the licensure process for pharmacy technicians in Article 28 facilities remains under development but is making progress.
Apologies in advance if you receive this via separate messages.
Best regards…
Luke
NYSCHP CDTM Practice During COVID-19 Pandemic Survey
Email from Andrew Kaplan, PharmD, BCPS, BCGP, Vice President of Public Policy
To perform CDTM in New York State requires the patient to provide a written consent; we are one of few states which require this.
With COVID-19 and the shift to telehealth, many patients may not be able to physically sign a consent document. Many patients in rural or low-income communities many not have access to fax machines, email, etc. We have heard concerns that the requirement that consent be written is a barrier to care.
NYSCHP has therefore requested the Governor use his executive authority to strike the “written” requirement for consent for CDTM during the pandemic. Click HERE to view the letter and other COVID-19 interventions taken by NYSCHP.
We would like to hear if this barrier has impacted you or any services you are aware of, in order to better quantify how prevalent the issue is in NYS and report this to the Governor.
