Pharmacy Focuses on Vaccine Appointment Scheduling, Availability, Access

Sandra Levy, senior editor of Drug Store News, conducted a digital conversation with Tim Ducharme, vice president of Immunization Growth and Strategy at CVS Health®.

This discussion, posted on YouTube on October 28, 2024, centered around the company’s vaccination business and its offerings for the respiratory virus season, and how it is working with patients to help them schedule any immunizations ahead of time.

Ducharme highlighted three areas of focus: appointment scheduling, vaccine availability, patient access issues and opportunities.

He also discusses how CVS is working to educate patients about the 2024-2025 respiratory season, which includes RSV and influenza. Various vaccines are available for these diseases.

Product delivery, available through the more than 9,000 CVS Pharmacy locations across the U.S., is a core component of the company’s digital offerings and efforts to meet consumers’ unique health and wellness needs.
