"Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians helped protect Wisconsinites during the COVID-19 pandemic by administering COVID-19 vaccinations, collecting specimens for point-of-care testing, and managing COVID-19 therapeutics. Pharmacy personnel had to navigate the logistics of creating, implementing, monitoring, and improving these new services in addition to providing their usual services and managing the staffing and burnout challenges created or exacerbated by the pandemic. These challenges led to many pharmacy personnel working more hours than pre-pandemic, volunteering their personal time, and collaborating with new organizations and institutions. All of these actions speak to pharmacists’ and pharmacy technicians’ dedication to their patients and their communities."
