A silver lining of the pandemic has been the creation of new opportunities for some independent pharmacies, and the common thread between these stores is their preparation and planning. Kavanaugh Pharmacy has been busy with distributing, storing, and administering the Covid vaccine as well as performing thousands of Covid tests for their community. According to Scott Pace, it’s all about doing your “late night homework” and planning ahead so you can position yourself to be considered for these opportunities. In this case, a $6000 investment that was collecting dust at their pharmacy ended up being their key to getting the vaccine.
