About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy teams in delivering safe, accurate, and timely prescription services and a high-quality patient experience. They work across pharmacy stations—including production, pickup, drive-thru, and drop-off—following standard operating procedures, best practices, and applicable laws and policies. Technicians provide caring service to patients, help pharmacy operations run smoothly, complete basic inventory tasks as permitted, and contribute to a safe, inclusive, and effective team.

Where permitted and with the required training and certification, technicians may also provide services such as immunizations and point-of-care testing. Technician immunizers may prepare and administer vaccines, educate patients, refer clinical questions to the pharmacist, monitor and report adverse reactions, document patient information, and manage vaccine supplies.
