Two of our newest APhA e-board members, Silva and Meredith, put together this amazing video for APhA’s PharmFlix Video Contest! The theme this year is “Vaccine Confident” after this past year where student pharmacists and pharmacists have played an integral role in responding to the pandemic. Pharmacists continue to have an incredible role in strengthening vaccine confidence in patients and in the community. In this video, you can see the role us student pharmacists had in communicating with the public through IPPE events, flu and covid vaccine clinics, poster events, and more. Let’s all WISH US LUCK in this year’s contest!!
