A pharmacist in Utah has been disciplined for providing completed COVID vaccination cards to patients without actually administering the vaccine. In this specific incident, the pharmacist allowed a pharmacy technician to counsel a "reluctant" patient about unconfirmed adverse reactions to the vaccine without correcting the misinformation and then gave the vaccine card to the unvaccinated patient. The disciplinary order stated that the pharmacist's actions posed a risk to the patient and others by falsely representing the patient as vaccinated.
