Everyone knows that doctors and nurses are burned out from COVID-19, facing staffing shortages, full emergency rooms and COVID exposures — but one group of health care workers has been overlooked and face its own set of COVID-related difficulties: pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
Mike Reppucci, who has owned Cambridge’s Inman Pharmacy since 1984, had three of seven pharmacists out this past week due to COVID and one on parental leave. He had to pick up 30 extra hours to fill the gaps, and other staffers have worked 10 to 20 hours extra. He even enlisted his son — an EMT who’s certified to do so — to administer COVID vaccines.
When state regulators cracked down on the distribution of the drug for COVID-19, as indicated by its dose, customers who previously filled ivermectin prescriptions there were “pissed” at her, she said. She added that doctors have even called and made up parasitic infections to get patients the drug. “Some doctors are more understanding than others about the shortages or what we can and can’t do, others are more like ‘No, I don’t care. This is what I need. You need to get it no matter what,’” she said.
