Hello again!
If you do not know (or are not from North Carolina!), every year there is a state fair in Raleigh, N.C.! There is fabulous food, fun crafts, animals, more food, shows, concerts, and did I mention food?! Anyway, every year Kerr Drug also sponsors flu shots! And as a part of Campbell, we were able to team up and allow our certified P2s, P3s, and P4s to administer the vaccine to fair-goers! It is such a fun experience to be able to interact with all kinds of people at the fair in a fun environment while still being able to practice immunizations. Let me tell you, it is a lot different giving a shot to a real live patient than just practicing during the skills lab.
Campbell does such a great job allowing us to grow professionally while still in school, especially in areas that are so practical, such as the flu shot! If you haven’t yet, go find a pharmacist who can immunize and get yours! Good luck studying and pushing through the semester and I hope to see some of you all at PharmDays soon!
PS: Yes, that is me dressed up as the “flu virus” promoting the shot! Ironically, people didn’t really want to get near me!
