"A Fundamental Service" - CA Department of Health

The Disease Prevention Demonstration Project (DPDP) made over-the-counter pharmacy syringe sales legal in California in 2004. However, many communities and individual pharmacists still have not approved of or enrolled in the program. This short documentary focuses on the role of pharmacists in public health and disease prevention. Participating pharmacists and public health officials explain how to enroll in the DPDP program, while addressing concerns that many pharmacists may have about offering this service to their clientele.
