VDLC President Stephen von Sychowski sent a letter on April 28 to Mr. Glen Doucet, Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Pharmacists Association.

The letter is in support of the Canadian Labour Congress call for extra prescription dispensing fees to be waived during the pandemic in order to help ensure that everyone will have access to the medications they need.

A copy of the letter can be viewed here.

The CLC has also created an online tool that will allow anyone to send their own letter to the CPhA. Please take moment to send a letter on this important issue. The online action tool can be found HERE.
