AS WE celebrated 'pharmacy strengthening health systems' on World Pharmacists Day 2023 yesterday, a pharmacist in regional NSW has taken to the skies to deliver COVID-19 vaccinations to hundreds of aged care residents in the state's rural and remote areas.
Jack Buckley, pharmacist and co-owner of Life Pharmacy Forbes, Flannery's Pharmacy Forbes and Life Pharmacy Orange, has been a pilot for 15 years and chartered his own aircraft to help vaccinate aged care residents across NSW.
Life Pharmacy's pharmacists from Dubbo, Parkes and Bathurst have travelled over 3,700km in 145 hours to Gilgandra, Wellington, Narromine, Yeoval, Bathurst, & Gulgong to deliver 603 vaccines, and will continue to do so.
