Pharmacy technicians assist pharmacists with critical responsibilities, including medication counting, patient data entry, customer service, and drug and medical device explanations.

Activities on National Pharmacy Technician Day 2023
Purchase a gift
We wish we could reward pharmacy technicians. If that fails to occur, a teddy bear, balloon, box of chocolates, or a beautiful flower placed in their workplace (artificial, to maintain cleanliness) will certainly enliven their day.
Obtain a flu vaccine
National Pharmacy Technicians Day falls precisely in the midst of the influenza season when the majority of pharmacies provide flu vaccinations. Obtaining a flu shot from your pharmacy technician now is an excellent method to prevent the need to see them again under less-than-ideal conditions in the future.
Simply express gratitude.
On any given day, pharmacies may see hundreds of consumers enter and exit, the vast majority of whom are not there to socialize. Taking the time to express gratitude to a pharmacy technician can truly brighten their day.
