Pharmacists are emerging as pivotal figures in patient care. As patients increasingly seek comprehensive healthcare services, pharmacists are stepping up to fill the gaps, particularly in the realm of vaccinations. Following the surge in flu and COVID-19 vaccinations, patients are inquiring about additional immunizations to protect themselves and their families.
