Rx #0000032 : Vaccinating Ages 5-11

URxProbablyRxight

Meds & Counsel without Patience for Patients
Ever heard of Dick’s Last Resort? Never been to the restaurant myself, but I love the concept. It’s like the court jester in medieval times being able to tell the King the harsh truth since everything he said was in—you guessed it—jest. Why has no pharmacy taken up this business practice? If patients expect harsh but fair truth from the pharmacy team, they’ll accept it readily.
Welcome to URxProbablyRxight. The pharmacy of the future where we provide “Meds & Counsel without Patience for Patients.”

Vaccinating Ages 5-11

[Rph]: “Hey, Marianne, you hear they may be giving the Pfizer vaccine the go-ahead for ages 5-11 pretty soon?”
[Rph 2]: “Not looking forward to that! But today is ‘Child Health Day’. Would be kinda fitting if they announced it today.”
[Rph]: “Yeah, but it would suck! We don’t have time to spend 10 minutes getting some rugrat to stop squirming, despite Mom having them in a death-grip bear-hug.”
[Rph 2]: “Heck, I’m more worried about where to give the vaccine. Ever seen a 5-year-old’s deltoid?”
[Rph]: “I got 3 kids, remember.”
[Rph 2]: “Yup, how could I forget? You talk about ‘em all the time, Roger.”
[Rph]: “Have I ever shown you this coffee mug? My daughter handmade it for me for—”
[Rph 2]: “Anyway, I’d argue it’s hard to get some 40-year-olds to stop squirming prior to a shot.”
[Rph]: “We can always just send them over to Vita. She can deal with them at the clinic.”
[Rph 2]: “The 40-year-olds?”
[Rph]: “Sure, them too. But I meant the 5-year-olds.”
[Rph 2]: “Remind me, someday, to teach you what a joke is.”
[Rph]: “Ten-Four, Good Buddy . . . I said, ‘10-4, Good Buddy’.”
[Rph 2]: “Uhh, yeah, I—I heard you.”
[Rph]: “Looks like we both have some learning to do today.”
