Pharmacy Workers Are the Pandemic’s Invisible Victims

Morrow was assigned to fill in at a store she hadn't worked in before, and she contemplated quitting her job as a pharmacist. She arrived and found that she would be the only pharmacist on the job all day. The disease was getting worse. The prescriptions backed up quickly as she turned her attention to giving Covid-19 and flu shots. She was hours behind schedule. She was exhausted and worried that she would make a mistake filling a prescription, so she closed the pharmacy early.

Morrow quit her job after eight years at the company when working conditions continued to get worse.
