Rise and shine with us tomorrow!
Join us for the GSK Sunrise Breakfast Presentation at 7:30 AM in Fallen Timbers:

Who’s at Risk: Identifying Herpes Zoster Vulnerability in Pharmacy Settings

More than 99% of adults aged 50+ have had varicella zoster virus, and for about 1 in 3, it may reactivate as shingles. Risk increases with age, but common chronic conditions—such as diabetes, COPD, asthma, CKD, and CVD—also play a role.

This session will help pharmacists:
• Understand risk factors and clinical presentation
• Recognize complications and burden of disease
• Review CDC recommendations for HZ vaccination
• Apply best practices for improving adult vaccination uptake

Speaker: Pooja Joshi, MD, Medical Science Liaison, Vaccines, GSK US Medical Affairs

Enjoy a full hot breakfast while you learn!
Menu includes fresh fruit and berries, pastries, mini muffins, scrambled eggs with cheddar and chives, breakfast potatoes, biscuits and gravy, smoked bacon, turkey sausage, coffee, tea, and juice.

We’ll see you bright and early!

We’ve been made aware of a new and concerning scam targeting pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Scammers are calling pharmacy professionals and falsely claiming there are outstanding actions or complaints against their license from the Pharmacy Quality Assurance Commission (PQAC) or the DEA.

They are even spoofing the WSPA main phone number to make the call appear legitimate, but these calls are not from us.

Both PQAC and the DEA have confirmed that they do not contact licensees by phone to discuss complaints or disciplinary actions.

Scammers may reference your NPI and license number, which are public record. Do not share any additional personal or financial information.

Please stay vigilant and share this message with colleagues to help protect our pharmacy community.

Thank you!
