I work for a temporary agency. I was assigned to work in a small local pharmacy to help medicare recipients choose a new Rx plan during open enrollment from October to December. I thought my temporary assignment would end at the close of medicare open enrollment, but they asked me to stay on and help them with some big huge data entry project they were anticipating due to Covid vaccines.
The pharmacist originally tried to tell me that I would need to get the vaccine in order to remain onsite. I politely delcined the vaccine and said, "it's been nice getting to know you all and I wish you all the best", to which he replied, you can stay without the vaccine, we will just need to eliminate any contact with any of our patients.
So, now I typically work from home, except on days when I'm needing to use their software for billing for the vaccine. On those days, I come in through the back of the store and work in a little office closed off to the public and I sit and enter the billing and the data which reports the date the vaccine was given and to whom it was given, and what Lot # was used for tracking purposes, into the state database. I receive emails from people begging to be put on our waitlist for this vaccine, and I cringe when I read the tone of absolute desperation in their emails. It is so sad to see just how psychologically damaged and traumatized by all of the hype and sensationalism pushed on television, radio, and fear mongering signs posted all over the stores and public places.
They do not realize, they are likely doing far more harm to themselves by taking this unnecessary vaccine for a virus that has been proven to have more than a 95% survival rate.
