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, helping ensure prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately while providing caring service. Technicians follow company standard operating procedures and pharmacy workflows, communicate effectively, and contribute to a safe, inclusive team culture.

A Technician Immunizer must meet additional licensure and training requirements. This is a part-time position with 25 anticipated weekly hours. The stated pay range is $17.00–$27.00 per hour; actual pay depends on factors such as experience, education, and geography.
