Who supervises the pharmacy technicians during immunization administration?

Store manager
Licensed pharmacy intern
Immunization-certified pharmacist
Registered nurse

The correct answer is: Immunization-certified pharmacist

The supervision of pharmacy technicians during immunization administration is the responsibility of an immunization-certified pharmacist. This is essential as the pharmacist has undergone specific training and certification to administer immunizations, ensuring they are knowledgeable about proper technique, vaccine protocols, and emergency procedures in case of adverse reactions. The pharmacist’s training equips them to oversee the technicians effectively, making sure that both the administration is performed correctly and that safety standards are upheld. Store managers, while overseeing general operations, may not have the specialized training required for immunization. Licensed pharmacy interns, although knowledgeable, typically do not possess full supervisory authority over pharmacy technicians in the context of immunization. Registered nurses are qualified to administer vaccines but do not usually supervise pharmacy technicians within the pharmacy setting. Thus, the immunization-certified pharmacist is the appropriate supervising authority in this scenario.
