Part of it might be that we have so few independent pharmacies. It’s all CVS and Walgreens these days.
They’ve been aggressively recruiting nurses and what have as part of their plan to shift towards the whole walk in clinic thing. And most of the testing and vaccine rollout in NY State has been tied to “partnering” with for profit walk in clinics and drug store chains.
So maybe it just shakes out this way.
Either way from what I see locally I dunno that the pharmacist would be able to pull off altering the actual vaccine reporting system.
