Pharmacists rewarded for numbers of "vaccines"/flu shots given only one of many unethical medical practices for many years. Covid precipitated the disclosure of most to the masses. Hope persists for a total cleansing!

AFAIK pharmacists aren’t rewarded per vaccine although it is a metric by which each store is judged by corporate. Corporate is who is making $ not individual pharmacists unless pharmacy managers are bonused based on vaccine volume which is entirely possible (I’m just a peon overnight RPh with no skin in the game.) Occasionally technicians are paid a per shot bonus (max I’ve seen is $3-$5) if they ask a patient at the register if they want a shot during certain promotions. The register also prompts almost every sale with ask pt if they need xyz vaccine. I’ve never once been tempted to do more than stab angrily at the prompt to make it go away but I’d say I see it at least 50 times a night. My employer does not have anyone at the store level making these sorts of phone calls to people but based on how they do other things they might hire a bunch of pre-licensed (international pending state license or graduate pending board license) “pharmacists” making these sorts of calls at a much lower than pharmacist salary and claiming to be calling from the store you shop at. I know this because they’ve called me and I’ve had to argue with them that I *work* at that store and know for a fact that they *do not* work at that store and I found it completely unethical they would claim to do so. So there’s that.

Yup an ex friend who is a pharmacist related to me how they had quotas and how hard the company pushed to get them filled 😡
