About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy operations and service excellence in retail stores. They help ensure prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately, and serve as an initial point of contact for patients and customers. Technicians follow company procedures and pharmacy workflow practices, communicate effectively, and contribute to a safe, inclusive team environment.

Where permitted, Technician Immunizers complete additional licensure and training, help prepare and administer vaccines, educate patients and refer vaccination questions to the pharmacist, monitor and report adverse reactions, document patient information, and manage vaccine supplies.
