About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support the pharmacy team in delivering operational and service excellence in retail stores. They are often the first point of contact for patients and customers and help ensure prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately while providing caring service. Technicians follow standard operating procedures, pharmacy workflow practices, and effective communication standards, and contribute to a safe, inclusive culture. After starting, they must complete the company training program and meet the registration, licensing, and certification requirements established by their state Board of Pharmacy.

Depending on state law and required training and certification, Technicians may also provide patient health care services such as immunizations and point-of-care testing, or staff offsite clinics. Where permitted, Technician Immunizers complete additional training and licensure requirements, educate patients about vaccines and refer vaccination questions to the Pharmacist-on-duty, monitor and respond to adverse reactions, document patient information, and manage vaccine supplies.
