11/10/2022 ACTION ALERT (US): Tell Leaders to Act Before “Major Tripledemic” Impact!
Without changes NOW, the nation will likely be unable to prevent mass confusion, sustain patient pharmacy services, and prevent harm to lives and livelihoods due to outbreaks!

NACDS RxIMPACT is calling for YOUR help pressing the Administration and Congress to address three important needs as the nation prepares for the incoming winter “tripledemic” of COVID-19, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus!

Pharmacies have provided 276 million vaccinations for COVID-19 and stand ready to vaccinate for COVID-19 and influenza. To do so, leaders need to: (1) issue a new PREP Act amendment to ensure pharmacy PREP Act flexibilities extend until Oct. 2024; (2) release a transparent plan for commercialization of COVID-19 countermeasures; and (3) enact the Equitable Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act (H.R. 7213). To continue to meet the volume of care services and equitable reach in communities across the country, it is critical to prioritize these three urgent needs.

Help us tell U.S. President Biden and the U.S. Congress it is critically urgent to prioritize these three requests as detailed in the NACDS Open Letter and amplified in a recent Inside Health Policy article.  Your efforts will complement other efforts underway to sound the alarm. NACDS is working with others to speak with one voice; educating the media about the perils of inaction; conducting direct advocacy with Congress and with the Administration; and more.

Help NACDS RxIMPACT tell our nation’s leaders it is critical they act TODAY!  To act, please type in your contact information, click send message, and the system will generate separate messages to U.S. President Biden and your Members of Congress.  Our patients, the entire pharmacy community, and the nation, are depending on you. If you have any questions about this communication, please contact Heidi Ecker, Vice President of Government, Political & Digital Engagement via email at Hecker@nacds.org or phone at 703-837-4121.
