Independent pharmacy teams often want to expand beyond dispensing. This means adding clinical services, diversifying revenue, and deepening patient relationships, among other things. But immunization programs bring hurdles, such as administrative burden, manual tracking of patient eligibility, complicated documentation and reporting, and seasonal demand peaks. Save Mor Drugs wanted a better way to embed immunizations into everyday workflow.
The Immunization Solution
Save Mor Drugs adopted the Outcomes Vaccine solution, integrating immunization workflows directly into their daily pharmacy operations. With features like in-platform “Needs Immunization” tasks, full visibility into patient vaccine history, and built-in registry reporting/rejection handling, vaccination services became seamless, not an afterthought. According to the pharmacy team, it now feels like having “another employee helping you stay on top of everything.”
Results and Impact
- Roughly three hours per week saved on vaccine-related administrative tasks, freeing time for pharmacists to focus on patient care
- Increase immunizations year-round, not just during traditional flu season leaving more opportunities for service expansion
- Stronger patient engagement stemming from easier tracking and reminders, leading to patients more consistently offered immunizations, which builds long-term relationships rather than episodic interactions
Why it Works
What makes the Outcomes Vaccine solution so effective is how seamlessly it fits into the natural rhythm of the pharmacy. Instead of relying on separate systems, manual spreadsheets, or memory to track immunization needs, everything a pharmacist requires lives inside a single, integrated workflow. Patient vaccine histories are easily accessible within the platform, and eligible tasks appear directly in the pharmacy’s queue, ensuring no opportunities are missed, whether it’s flu season or a routine Tuesday in May. This visibility alone turns immunizations from something pharmacies “try to remember” into something they confidently deliver every day.
The platform also removes much of the administrative friction that typically slows down vaccine programs. Automated reporting to state registries reduces compliance risk, eliminates repetitive documentation, and cuts down on back-and-forth conversations. Pharmacies are notified upon login of any immunization reporting rejections and can address them immediately through an in-platform queue, meaning no separate systems, no chasing down missing information. By resolving issues quickly and accurately, pharmacy teams spend less time troubleshooting and more time engaging patients, strengthening relationships and opening the door to additional reimbursable services. Ultimately, Outcomes Vaccine works because it allows staff to stay focused on care instead of clerical tasks, giving them more time, more efficiency, and more confidence in every immunization they administer.
Key Takeaway: For independent pharmacies looking to evolve into year-round health destinations, combining clinical vision with a smart, integrated tool can turn immunizations from a seasonal afterthought into a consistent revenue and care drive. As Save Mor Drugs’ pharmacist put, “Just do it. Don’t be shy—it’s easy to use, intuitive, and makes a real difference.”
If your team wants to expand services, reduce administrative burden, and create a more robust patient-care model, integrating immunizations via Outcomes Vaccine is a smart path forward.
