A WSU alumna expanded her business to meet the state’s COVID-19 vaccination needs, administering about 500 doses since December.
Jill Harvey graduated from WSU in 2004 with a doctorate in pharmacy. After graduation, Harvey said she worked for a company that administered vaccinations and set up flu clinics.
When the company was purchased and the vaccine clinic program was dropped, Harvey decided to rebrand the business, she said.
Harvey said she launched Prevention NW in 2014 as a mobile pharmacist service to make vaccines more accessible. Over a six-year period, she worked to expand the focus of her business to address preventative medicine, including medication therapy and diabetes management.
