Pharmacists have been vaccinating for years—it's about time they get the recognition (and reimbursement) they deserve. Marc Ost, Co-Owner of Eric’s RX Shoppe in Horsham, PA, is here to make it happen. Marc joins us to talk about how he’s driving change in vaccine access and reimbursement, from advocating with the FTC and state legislators to pioneering at-home immunization billing codes. He also shares what’s new this year in vaccine administration, how pharmacies can adapt to new Part B service codes, and why telling your story to lawmakers still matters.
