About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy operations and service excellence in retail locations.

Where permitted, a Technician may obtain Technician Immunizer status by completing required licensure and training. Immunizer duties include preparing and administering vaccines, educating patients and referring vaccine questions to the Pharmacist-on-duty, monitoring and responding to adverse reactions, documenting patient information, and managing vaccine supplies.
