Pharmacy Technician

CVS Health • Midland, TX

9d • $17 - $25 • Onsite

About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy operations and service excellence in retail locations. They are often the first point of contact for patients and customers and help ensure prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately while providing caring, personalized service. Technicians follow company standard operating procedures, pharmacy workflow procedures, applicable laws and professional standards, and contribute to a safe, inclusive team culture. After hire, technicians must complete the company training program and meet applicable state registration, licensing, and certification requirements. Duties may be restricted by the Pharmacy Manager until those requirements are met.

Where permitted by law and supported by required training and certification, technicians may provide additional patient health care services, including immunizations and point-of-care testing, and may staff offsite clinics. Where permitted, technician immunizers complete additional requirements to prepare and administer vaccines, educate patients and refer vaccination questions to the Pharmacist-on-duty, monitor and respond to adverse reactions, document patient information, and manage vaccine supplies.
