YOU AND YOUR STAFF ARE PART OF AN INCREDIBLE NETWORK of healthcare heroes keeping communities safe and healthy during these unprecedented times.

Here are some tips and resources we’ve culled from great organizations such as NCPA and CPESN.

Limit purchases on some items to prevent hoarding, and closely monitor your inventory of important items such as fever reducer and cold & fl u items.

Compound hand sanitizer. The FDA gave temporary approval for compounding pharmacies to compound certain alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

Become a COVID-19 testing site. NCPA has a good resource on business feasibility: www.ncpa.co/pdf/COVID-19-testing-info-for-NCPA-members.pdf

Offer free delivery and/or curbside pickup.

Offer special hours for seniors or immune compromised individuals so they will encounter fewer customers.

Rearrange your waiting area to separate chairs and place tape on the fl oor in 6-foot increments so that patients know where to stand.

TIPS RESOURCES

Read the entire post at: hamacher.com/independents-coronavirus-advice.

ARRANGE AN ENDCAP FOR INFECTION PROTECTION AND IMMUNE SUPPORTIf you are keeping your front-end open during the pandemic, help your customers get in and out quickly by keeping common infection and immunity items displayed in one place.

Start your endcap with immunity support and flu symptom reducers, your customers first line of defense. These products are used to prevent sickness or reduce the duration of symptoms. This is also a good area to place thermometers.

Include masks, gloves, surface cleaners, and hand sanitizers. Disinfecting and cleaning surfaces on a regular basis can help keep viruses at bay. Hand sanitation is another important step. Washing hands with hot, soapy water for at least 20 seconds is recommended by the CDC.

Stock bulky items such as humidifiers and vaporizers on the bottom shelves. These items help eliminate the dry air that viruses thrive on. Additional humidity also helps treat dryness of the lips, throat, nasal passages, and skin.

Merchandise cold and flu products, pain relievers, vitamins, and supplements that address illness symptoms. Also, house items that help replenish fluids and essential vitamins. Follow the same strategy for both adult and children’s shelves.

SHELF 1

SHELF 4

SHELF 5

SHELF 2 & 3

A good mix of immunity support and infection protection products on an endcap can help move patients in and out of the pharmacy quickly. Be sure to let your customers know about the endcap with signage at the front door and through your social media efforts.

CDC CONSIDERATIONS FOR PHARMACIES DURING THE

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

According to the CDC, pharmacy staff can minimize their risk of exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19 and reduce the risk for customers by using the principles of infection prevention and control and social distancing: Your primary focus is on health. Keeping an eye on the

economy is also important, specifically within retail. This can help you make the right decisions in the coming weeks.

IRI, a market research company that provides retail insights, recently released a report called COVID-19: Impact on CPG and Retail that describes the three main phases of market response.

These phases are based on the governmental and/or societal response in your local area and are likely to change over time.
