About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy operations and help the pharmacy team deliver safe, accurate, and timely prescription fulfillment and caring patient service. Technicians work across pharmacy stations—including production, pick-up, drive-thru, and drop-off—following company procedures and applicable laws, regulations, professional standards, and ethical principles. They help create positive patient experiences, support patient health services, and contribute to a safe, inclusive, and high-performing team. After starting, technicians must complete company training and meet applicable state registration, licensing, and certification requirements. Until those requirements are satisfied, the Pharmacy Manager may restrict their duties.

Where allowed by law and supported by required training and certification, technicians may provide additional services such as immunizations, point-of-care testing, and staffing offsite clinics. Technicians who obtain Technician Immunizer status may prepare and administer vaccines, educate patients and refer vaccination questions to the Pharmacist-on-duty, monitor and report adverse reactions, collect and document patient information, and manage vaccine supplies.

The role requires regular and predictable attendance, including nights and weekends, and may involve working at other stores in the market as business needs require.
