PAWTUCKET – The family-owned Simpson’s Pharmacy may be small in stature, but it’s playing an outsized role in the fight against COVID-19 thanks to a staff that’s working hard to vaccinate hard-to-reach populations.
Cheryl (Simpson) Stoukides, who runs Pawtucket’s last remaining family pharmacy at 10 Newport Ave., told The Valley Breeze last Friday that the pharmacy had administered Moderna and Pfizer vaccines to some 500 people over three weeks of operation.

PROVIDENCE â Without a clear communication strategy from the state, supply chain issues, and hundreds of eligible residents failing to successfully book an appointment, Rhode Islanders are growing increasingly frustrated with how the state has handled its vaccine rollout.

With the production of the COVID-19 vaccine, the end of the pandemic is on the horizon. While there s still a long way to go, University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy faculty and staff members continue their efforts to hasten the end of the deadly pandemic, training pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to administer the vaccine.
Under new COVID health regulations, pharmacy technicians are allowed to administer the vaccine, necessitating training for those who hadn t previously vaccinated. They join pharmacists, who were granted the right to vaccinate in Rhode Island about 10 years ago. Mary-Jane Kanaczet, director of the College s Office of Continuing Professional Development for the Health Professions, received a license from the American Pharmacists Association to provide the training, and taught 33 pharmacy techs and 29 pharmacists recently, including Paul Larrat, dean of the College of Pharmacy.
