Tobin’s pharmacy and department store had already stocked its shelves with Easter and Mother’s Day items last spring, and the staff had just placed the Christmas orders. The shop in Oconomowoc, Wis., had been operating on a razor’s edge as retail sales moved online and mail-order pharmacies siphoned off its patients. It was losing money on 1 out of 4 pill bottles filled, so the front of the store, where it sold clothing, cosmetics and jewelry, had been compensating for pharmacy losses for years.

The Highland County Drug Abuse Prevention Coalition unveiled the new Med Collect boxes on Wednesday. There will be four new boxes in the county at Corner Pharmacy in Greenfield, Downtown Drug in Hillsboro, the Highland County Sheriff’s Office in Hillsboro and Kratzer’s Hometown Pharmacy in Lynchburg.
Nik Beatty, head pharmacist for Downtown Drug in Hillsboro, said the Med Collect boxes are better for the environment and community because they don’t involve flushing medication down the toilet or putting it in the trash.
Dozens of teens vaccinated at Lodi High School clinic

LODI, Wis. The Lodi School District partnered with Hometown Pharmacy to offer COVID-19 vaccines at the high school Thursday.
About 40 students got their shot. Officials say that might sound like a low number, but other students who are 16 and up may already have been vaccinated.
They also say having the clinic on-site at the school removes obstacles like transportation and parent schedule availability, which may have gotten in the way of students getting their shot earlier.
Lodi School District administrator Vince Breunig says it’s also a good way to close what has been a challenging year of dealing with the pandemic and different learning models while trying to navigate the school year.
