This week on Pharmacy Times, there are a number of important topics that will be covered and posted throughout the week, including:

• A video interview with Sophia Humphreys, PharmD, MHA, director of pharmacy clinical services at Providence St. Joseph Health, talking about how pharmacists can combat misinformation and vaccine hesitancy, especially following the J&J blood clot concerns that people may be concerned about.
• A new episode on Wednesday, May 5, of our new series premiering on the Pharmacy Focus podcast, Women in Pharmacy Wednesday, featuring Suzanne Soliman, Carlene Link, Holly Alavardo, Bhavana Mutha.
• An article that discusses how the growing role of pharmacists as social media influencers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, pharmacists have had to adapt to meeting more online instead of in person, while embracing new ways of delivering care and disseminating health care information. An emerging avenue is through social media, in which influencers help promote brands, enhance their own or an organization’s popularity, and create effective communication strategies to engage the public.
